In the press: “The Classic Cuvée blends champagne grape varieties of chardonnay, pinot noir and a little pinot meunier, and is gorgeously nutty with a crystalline spine of acidity.”
David Williams, www.guardian.observer.co.uk, 15 May 2011 (2005 vintage)
“Nyetimber was the wine that first got people really excited about the potential of English fizz, and many rate it as the country’s best. The Classic Cuvée is tight and complex with a subtle toasty richness and lovely fresh citrussy fruit.”
Jamie Goode, Sunday Express, 19 September 2010 (2005 vintage)
