Lemon gold with green tints. Fine mousse. The nose is full of lemon, baked apple, jasmine butter and vanilla, with hints of caramel. The palate shows baked lemon and minerals, a soft mousse and a long, buttery, toasty finish.

The 2014 Blanc de Blancs was bottled in March 2015 and disgorged in March 2020 and is due to hit the market in 2021. There is a touch more red fruit here, hints of white strawberries joining the defined honeysuckle and yellow plum scents. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh, and quite linear, as a Blanc de Blancs should be, with a little more salinity coming through on the pear and greengage finish compared to the 2013.
