2000 Brut Naturel

Another fine vintage black label Brut Naturel with fresh yeast nose and fine, persistent mousse. It has delicious fruit character with hints of grapefruit and is, as always, absolutely dry with no added dosage or sulphites.

We have many fans of our Brut Naturel, but none more welcome than Bess, who has savoured every vintage we have ever made. Bess is the first to have tasted this release and wrote "Well I must say you have outdone yourself! We got home and put a bottle on ice, prepared a supper of epoisses cheese and chicken salad and opened the bottle. It is simply wonderful and we thank anyone who had anything to do with it. Even the lady who put on the label. It is very interesting in its complexity - neither better nor worse than the previous batch but more interesting to the palate. Young as it is, it has remarkable character."
