Why Cave selected it

Benchmark English fizz from chalk soils: single‑estate Chardonnay, long lees ageing and very low dosage give tension and complexity, with recent golds at WineGB and IWSC underscoring quality.

About the wine

One of Langham Wine Estate’s flagship wines, the Blanc de Blancs, entirely from Chardonnay grown on their Dorset vineyard. This is a blend of the 2019 vintage (61%) and reserve wine (39%). The base wine was fermented in used oak and tank, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aged on lees for 2 years in bottle. Bone dry and complex this is a great example of top English fizz.

About Langham Wine Estate

All Langham Estate wines are made using grapes grown at their single site in rural Dorset. The Crawthorne vineyard consists of 12 hectares planted solely with the classic Champagne varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The site was carefully selected for its south facing slope and free-draining chalk subsoil. A long growing season and considerate viticulture ensures we harvest the finest grapes possible. They are constantly working towards reducing chemical intervention in the vineyard, employing diligent canopy management executed at specific times. By increasing air flow through the canopy and promoting biological control organisms, the effects of disease are kept to a minimum. All grapes are handpicked, and rigorous vineyard selection ensures only the highest quality grapes arrive at the winery.
