WINE REVIEW
The Classic Cuvée 2006 is a bland of 55% Chardonnay, 23% Pinot Noir and 22% Pinot Meunier.
The grapes of 2006 were from the warmest ever growing season in Nyetimber history, which has resulted in greater sweetness and fruit flavours.
The taste is smooth and fruity, with apricots and peaches and a distinct tropical character.
Long fruity finish and a nice sweetness on the tongue.
Really quite different from both the 2009 and 2007 I tried before it.
