Arras Brut Elite Cuvee NV
The Wine
93 Pts, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion "Cuvée No. 1701; a non-vintage blend of pinot noir/chardonnay/pinot meunier, predominately 2017 fruit with 15.5% aged reserve wine. Pale straw in the glass with a superfine, energetic bead and mousse. Aromas of green apple, citrus and white peach with hints of crushed stone, brioche, mushroom broth, white flowers, vanilla, cream, oyster shell, lanolin and proving dough. It cuts a sophisticated line across the palate with notes of roasting nuts framed by shimmering acidity and wonderful drive and complexity. Ditch the French NVs and pop this in your shopping basket instead."
91 Pts, Huon Hooke, The Real Review "Light, bright yellow colour; creamy, smoked charcuterie and custard, with a faint whiff of reduction; the palate is refined, restrained, subtle and streamlined, with crisp and very dry balance, lean and long through the finish. It's a little straightforward at the moment, and will doubtless fill out with more time on cork. One for those who like rapier thrust and unencumbered fruit purity."
