COATES & SEELY

Blanc de Blancs Brut Britagne

Grapes Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Colour White
Origin United Kingdom, England
Classification Britagne
ABV 12%

There's a delightful, focused freshness to this, with its crystal-clear, classic Chardonnay nose of lemon, toast, green apple and biscuit. Rich and vigorous, it's ripely flavoured with a pure, dry palate and a splendid, lively finish. Still need more time in bottle to fully relax.

The mousse is rich, and the aromas immediately say Chardonnay with apple fruit and a gentle note of custard and fresh-baked brioche. On the palate this has a crisp, fine mousse that streaks across the tongue and pin-sharp acidity. But there's an inherent sense of sweetness here (not sugar, as this has a 'Brut' level of only 10.1g/l dosage), with a touch of honey and tangerine-bright acidity that gives it plenty of delicious drinkability. Another great effort from an estate in the vanguard of the quality English wine movement.Tom Cannavan, www.wine-pages.com

Hugely impressive. Has a seamless purity and elegance to it - a nobility, for want of a better term - often lacking in other English fizz. The aromas open up with gentle cream and wood-smoke hints, and notes of green apples. Very deftly constructed palate profile with brisk acidity and beautifully judged dosage. Vibrant, direct and very persistent. Bodes well for the vintage.Peter Richards MW (Jun 2015)

Coates & Seely

Coates and Seely is the brainchild of Christian Seely and Nicholas Coates. The pair spent a year scouring Southern England for the ideal place to make excellent sparkling wine. In 2008 they found the Wooldings, tucked away in a secluded valley near Whitchurch, on the chalk downlands of Hampshire. “Near Winchester. Actually it’s closer to Basingstoke but Winchester sounds more romantic” says Seely jovially.

The vineyards now total 24 hectares, and are planted with the Champagne varieties Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. They refurbished the original buildings, importing first-class winery equipment for winemaker Ryan Carter. Unlike most UK sparkling wine producers Coates & Seely are concentrating on Non Vintage wines - The Rosé was the first release; Blanc de Blancs then followed and in July 2015 their first vintage wines were released the Perfide Blanc de Blanc & Perfide Rosé 2009. All the wines carry the terms Méthode Britannique, and Britagne (pronounced Brit~an~ye) on the label, a testament to the quality and individuality of sparkling wines here that will at least rival their French neighbours!
