"""Full bottle 1,619 g. 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier from Henry and Kaye Laithwaite's 6.5-ha vineyard in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. Organic farming. 30% barrel fermentation. 30 months sur lattes. TA 8.3 g/l, dosage 9.7 g/l. Bottled 10 May 2021, disgorged 6 September 2024. = There is always an ampleness to the H&H Reserve Brut – a hug in a mug, except it's a wine glass. And the roundness comes with a scythe of English acidity to make sure that boundaries are respected. Lemon chiffon cake, cheesecake and a cheeky slice of pineapple before the fizzing busy buzzy bustle of bubbles that carry all the flavours happily, chattily on their shoulders. This is such a drink-me wine and I reckon it would be good with everything from cheese toasties at the kitchen table to high tea at the Ritz. ""

""Excellent, ripe apple fruit with brioche notes. Crisp, mineral finish with a soft mousse. ""
