This Chardonnay from the excellent 2018 vintage typifies the variety's suitability to Henners vineyard.

Classic chardonnay notes of lemon, grapefruit and orange zest, combined with riper stone fruit characters, hints of tarte tatin and pastry combine to make this mouthwatering and elegant vintage Blanc de Blancs.

When it comes to English wine there’s a lot to shout about, not least the stunning sparkling wines from Henners. Based just 4 miles from the sea in Herstmonceux, East Sussex, the 7 acre vineyard was created in 2007 by ex-Formula One engineer, Lawrence Warr. The winery was named in honour of Larry's French ancestor, Henners Dubois, who was forced to flee Paris for England during the French Revolution in the in the late 18th Century.

Planted with traditional Champagne varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the vines thrive in an idyllic microclimate created by the vineyard’s proximity to the sea, low altitude (only 24 metres above sea level) and steep, sunny, south facing slopes.

All Henners wines are hand-crafted from start to finish; with separate fermenting of varietals and their vine clones to allow a broader range of wines for final blending; extended lees ageing for added complexity; and holding back of all bottles for at least 3 years prior to release to add depth and richness to every wine. Hand-crafted with every attention to detail, our winemakers create award winning wines of depth, complexity and elegance that are perfect for any occasion.

Produced only in exceptional vintages our Blanc de Blancs is a blend of 100% chardonnay. Aged on lees for a minimum of 36 months our Blanc de Blancs typifies the linear purity of this classic style. We select our finest lots of Chardonnay, ensuring that the wine has the fruit character, structure and elegance required for extended ageing. Only 5,000 bottles produced.

Perfect aperitif or celebration wine.
