Langham Wine Estate is one of the most exciting names in English wine. Produced in Dorset, this is a traditional method sparkling wine made from 100% Chardonnay grown on chalk-rich soils, mirroring the geological profile of Champagne. The non-vintage cuvée is blended across multiple base years to ensure consistency and house style, with secondary fermentation in bottle and extended lees ageing to build complexity and texture.
Tasting note:
The wine shows a pale straw colour with fine, persistent mousse, opening with a refined nose of green apple, lemon zest and white peach, layered with brioche, toasted almond and a subtle chalky minerality. On the palate it is light-to-medium-bodied, with bright, incisive acidity driving flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate pastry notes. The texture is precise and elegant, with lees ageing contributing a gentle creaminess. A distinct chalky mineral backbone adds tension and definition. The finish is clean, crisp and persistent, with lingering citrus, brioche and saline notes.
A focused and elegant Blanc de Blancs, combining freshness, finesse and complexity, with a clear expression of English terroir and traditional method craftsmanship.
