Appearance: Pale golden with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles, highlighting its elegance and vitality.

Aroma: The nose is fresh and expressive, offering a bouquet of citrus fruits such as lemon and lime, along with green apple and pear. There are delicate toasty and brioche notes from the extended aging on lees, as well as hints of almond, white flowers, and a subtle minerality that adds depth to the aromatic profile.

Taste: On the palate, this sparkling wine is crisp and lively, with a vibrant acidity that balances beautifully with the richness of the fruit. Flavours of citrus, green apple, and peach are complemented by more mature notes of brioche, biscuit, and a touch of nuttiness from the aging process. The texture is creamy and elegant, with a fine mousse and a harmonious balance between the fruit, acidity, and lees-derived complexity.

Finish: The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of citrus, toasty brioche, and a delicate minerality, leaving a fresh and sophisticated aftertaste.

Food pairing: The Nyetimber Classic Cuvée Brut pairs wonderfully with a range of dishes, from seafood such as oysters, scallops, and smoked salmon to lighter poultry dishes and soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert. It also makes an excellent aperitif, ideal for celebrations and special occasions, offering both versatility and sophistication.
