Hambledon Classic Cuvee, Hampshire

Hambledon is the UK’s oldest commercial vineyard, and its head winemaker, Hervé Jestin, was cellarmaster at the Duval Leroy Champagne house for over 20 years. The Classic Cuvée, a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier, once famously beat Pol Roger, Veuve Clicquot and Taittinger in a blind tasting. It has notes of fresh bread, greengage, red plums and dessert apples and a precise acidity.
