Nice orange nose. Full taste - more orange, good acidity. A hint of bitterness. Pretty good, a nice characterful sparkler at a good price point. ["Blanc de blancs"; Cork + cage; 12.5% abv; Laithwaites, £10.99]

This was a decanter award winner and meant to rival 'top vintage champagne'. So much for the sell. It's perfectly drinkable, but more like a mass produced cava. It's chardonnay (+ pinot blanc), but if you like that, go for the Premier Cuvee Nyetimber which is miles superior. Glug and move on I think.
