Ripe apple • Stone fruit • Lemon Blossom
A dazzling single vintage, traditional sparkling wine that radiates style. Warm gold coloured in the glass with delicate bubbles that free the creamy, fruit-laden scent. Generous yet elegant aromas of ripe apple, stone fruit, shortbread and lemon blossom evolve into a rounded and soft palate. A lovely balance between floral and fruit elements underscored by a buttery brioche base note.
All fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel for around 14 days prior to malolactic fermentation. Bottle-fermented and lees aged for a minimum of 18 months prior to disgorgement.
Works well with fried appetisers, for example deep fried Camembert, or rich starters such as chicken liver pâté. Grilled fish or chicken sous-vide. Hard cheeses, and aged cheddar or strawberry shortbread for dessert.
Grape varieties: 100% Chardonnay
ABV: 12.5%

This the the second time we have had this, it’s an absolute winner!
We discovered Bolney at a local public house and then booked a tour last September, where we discovered Blanc de Blancs. OMG…it knocks spots of French Champagne. We always keep a bottle to celebrate anything special…any excuse! Trouble is…don’t want to tell too many people in case we can’t get our supply‚
OMG Why have I not tried your English bubbly before , this is absolutely Amazing, light fresh honeyed floral fruitiness with a delightfully creamy lemon verbena aftertaste just superb.
Had gift of Bolney at Xmas !excellent wine didn’t disappoint
Just fabulous for any occasion
We visited Bolney with friends a year ago for lunch and a tour and had a wonderful afternoon. The lunch was delicious, the staff were friendly and the tour informative and the wines are excellent. So, we ordered three bottles for those friends for the holidays stuck in London and they were received in less than a week.
We have had a preference for English wines for the last 10 years or so and found Bolney wines on recommendation. Whilst usually partaking of the Reds, we are very impressed with their sparkling wines and the Blanc de Blanc has been exceptional in every bottling we have tried. I highly recommend this vineyards products.
Such a lovely and crisp white wine! Thank you to Sean!
The service was great – and the wine delivered perfect for tasting on a summers evening BBQ celebration – a lockdown birthday
I love Kerry’s review, below, and agree with everything she’s written. Now we are all stuck in Lockdown Limbo, the need for a regular escape is ever more vital. I’d just add that any day which has a “Y” in it is good for this wine. No-one’s doing much driving, after all…
I really enjoy about 3 to 4 English sparkling wines, and for me the Bolney Blanc de Blanc is the best value, as good as the more expensive competitors. Great on its own or with some fishy nibbles like prawns or scallops.
So, let’s be honest, can you get a 6 quid bottle of bubbly stuff from a supermarket, course you can. What you wont get with that though is a side order of luxurious, taste-tingling heaven. This is so good. No really it’s that good. Light but rich. Bubbly but not acidy. And 100% decadent. It’ll turn the dullest Monday after a rubbish work day into a glass of Heaven with a side order of “life’s pretty damn good.” Do it. Do it now. You’ll thank me.
A great sparkling wine to enjoy on a summers day. Easy to drink and would definitely buy again!
This is a lovely English sparkling wine. It’s crisp but still easy drinking. Lovely!

The best sparkling wine I’ve come across. Bolney Estate products are really something special and certainly not Chateau Sulfurique as my Dad would call a lot of what’s on the market.
