Tasting Notes:

  • Colour: Bright and clear, with a lively and persistent mousse that highlights the wine’s elegance.
  • Nose: Complex and inviting, the bouquet offers a mix of fresh sourdough, magnolia, and lily scents, with a subtle hint of smoke. Underneath, notes of greengage, red plums, and dessert apples add depth and richness to the aroma.
  • Palate: On the palate, Hambledon Classic Cuvée is vivid and precise, with a crunchy texture and structured yet ripe acidity. The wine is linear, dense, and long, with a vibrant energy and latent tension that promises further development. Layers of floral and stone fruit aromas unfold over time, leading to a rich and satisfying finish with great length.

About Hambledon Classic Cuvée: Established in 1952 by Major General Sir Guy Salisbury-Jones, Hambledon is the oldest commercial vineyard in England. In 1999, Ian Kellett acquired the estate with the goal of restoring it to its former glory. Extensive research confirmed that the Newhaven chalk soil, similar to that found in the Côtes des Blancs in Champagne, was ideal for producing sparkling wines. Today, Hambledon boasts over 200 acres of vineyards and the only gravity-fed, state-of-the-art winery in the UK. Winemaking is overseen by Hervé Jestin, a renowned Champagne expert, ensuring that every bottle of Hambledon Classic Cuvée is crafted to the highest standards.

Serving Suggestions: Hambledon Classic Cuvée is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Its vibrant acidity and complex flavors make it an excellent match for seafood, particularly oysters and scallops, as well as poultry and rich cheeses. It’s also perfect for toasting at celebrations or enjoying as an aperitif.
