Wine & Spirits

All grapes harvested by hand. Noël Pinguet was one of the first French vignerons to adopt biodynamic viticulture and credit biodynamics with enhancing the personalities of the estate's terroirs. Pétillant, also known as Methode Ancestrale, is a sparkling wine method where the wine is bottled before primary fermentation is finished, resulting in a lower pressure sparkling wine. It is called "pétillant" because only a portion of the fermentation occurs inside the bottle. Yeast is added to ensure the fermentation progresses smoothly.

Delicate bubbles wrapped in intense salmon pink colored Rose. Red berry-fruit aromas (ripe redcurrants, cherries, wild strawberries) give way to notes of plum. This Rose is fresh and full, and has a fine finish with surprising notes of peach and apricot. The time and place for this Rose is whenever life calls for color. With afternoon tea... at a private view... to celebrate a proposal... or toast a new arrival. Excellent with finely spiced or sweet andsour dishes.

Louis Roederer Brut Rose 2013 « A characteristic Roederer rosé: the concentration, fruitiness, and compactness of the Cumières Pinot noir grapes are transcended by the elegance, purity, and freshness of the finest Chardonnay grapes cultivated on the Côte des Blancs. » — Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master

Winemaker Notes Wonderfull effervescence with very fine bubbles, although the bead is evanescent. Bright and brilliant gold in color, it has cristalline limpidity. The nose is fresh and reminiscent of white flowers (hawthorn, acacia). After agitation, it reveals very delicate aromas of floral-flavored honey and spice bread. A champagne with a crisp initial impact on the palate, giving way to rich and generous floral notes, enhanced by a touch of licorice. The dosage is understated and perfectly integrated, thus allowing the true essence of the wine to come to the fore. This finish is exuberant with a freshness accentuated by citrus aromas (lemon and grapefruit).

This is one of the most important wines that we make at Hattingley, it is the most widely available and arguably one of the most loved. Whilst many people will assume that a ‘vintage’ wine is automatically better (often not the case!), this Non-vintage shows off the skill of Emma’s winemaking. Being able to blend the wines from different grape varieties, different vineyards, barrels and tanks to try and maintain a consistent style is one of the toughest jobs that the winemaking team have to do. This is our all-rounder, our crowd pleaser and a wine that is very easy for all to love!

June 2020. Awards Harvest The 2015 growing season was a test of good site selection and our vineyard team did a wonderful job in challenging conditions - the summer was cooler than the previous year, particularly in August which is the crucial month for veraison and the start of the ripening season. The pinots were super-ripe with wonderful flavours, good acidity levels and deep colour, and good vineyard sites produced some very fine Chardonnay as well. ‘Blending this wine was the Eureka moment – the whole team recognised the distinct Hattingley style immediately it came together in the glass.’Emma RiceHead Winemaker Winemaking The hand-harvested grapes were whole bunch pressed to extract top quality juice. 19% of the total blend was barrel fermented in old white Burgundy barrels and partial malolactic fermentation took place in order to soften the wine’s natural acidity. To ensure the consistency and continuity of our signature style, 23% of reserve wines (that had naturally softened and developed over time in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks) were added to the blend before secondary fermentation. After 3 years ageing on lees in a bottle to add roundness and character, the wine was disgorged with a light dosage of 7 g/L. Tasting Notes Our Classic Reserve is pale gold in colour with delicate and fine long-lasting bubbles. The beautifully complex bouquet combines aromas of green apples with creamy nougat, freshly baked brioche and delicate toasted notes from ageing in bottle. On the palate, the complexity continues with notes of soft lemon sherbet, biscuit and a subtle oak character. Refreshing and perfectly balanced, with a delightfully long finish.
