This bottling, based on the 2020 vintage, combines aromas of orchard fruit and creamy vanilla with floral and citrus tones. The palate is beautifully pure, with a rich mouth-feel and a mineral note reminiscent of our chalk soils. The extended time on lees – over 42 months – creates biscuity depth and a very fine mousse, all balanced by vibrant acidity. The finish is long and layered. Only 8,222 bottles were made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.5pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eHow \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eour Brut NV\u003c\/strong\u003e is made\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\"\u003eGrapes from our five-hectare vineyard were hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed and vinified in a combination of stainless steel and old oak. The wines all go through malolactic fermentation, tempering the naturally taut style. The 2020 base wines were blended with around 10% reserve wines (from a solera dating back to 2011), lending additional complexity and richness. Once blended and bottled, the wine spent a minimum 42 months on the lees, developing biscuity, autolytic notes. Disgorged in November 2025, the wine received a modest dosage of 6.9g\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.5pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eMore about the 2020 vintage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThe 2020 vintage – forever remembered for the pandemic – proved challenging in many ways but made some spectacular wines. The season started with beautiful weather in March and April, but frost threatened the crop in late April and mid-May, reducing yields. Warm weather in August and September, however, allowed the fruit to ripen perfectly. The grapes at Candover Brook were picked before October’s heavy rain. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Candover Brook","offers":[{"title":"Bottle (1x75cl)","offer_id":45246911381789,"sku":"BRUT-1","price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle (1x75cl) with Gift Box","offer_id":49337668305181,"sku":"BRUT-GB-1","price":43.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case (6x75cl) - saving £23","offer_id":45246911283485,"sku":"BRUT-6","price":205.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/5001\/8077\/files\/Candover_Brut.jpg?v=1774024805","url":"https:\/\/www.candoverbrook.co.uk\/products\/brut-nv-2020-base","provider":"Candover Brook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
