Merchant's description

Black Chalk Paragon 2020 is a blanc de blancs sparkling wine crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay (clones 95, 121, 76 and 131). This wine hails from the Upper Levels vineyard in Hampshire. The base wine was aged with a high proportion of oak – 46% in a large new foudre – with the remainder in stainless steel, and saw no malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged for 26 months on the lees. It displays refined citrus, white stone fruit, a complex nutty and toasty oak profile, and a fine, saline-driven structure with pronounced acidity.
