CUVÉE BOZ BLANC DE BLANCS 2020

CUVÉE BOZ BLANC DE BLANCS 2020

Made only in the best vintages and crafted with long cellar-ageing in mind, Cuvée Boz Blanc de Blancs is​ our ultimate expression of pure Chardonnay on chalk.

From an exceptional year, which enjoyed long spells of warmth and higher-than-average light levels, 100% of the fruit for the 2020 Cuvée Boz Blanc de Blancs comes from Mount Harry – our 'Grand Cru' single vineyard on the East Sussex Downs, planted in 2006.

Beautifully open and expressive from the get-go, it's showing spiced citrus and floral notes, alongside stony minerals and tangy acidity.

Dermot Sugrue

AWARDS AND REVIEWS

It's no secret that Cuvée Boz is a critic favourite – both of our previous 2015s won the trophy for Best Blanc de Blancs at the WineGB Awards, a Gold Medal at the International Wine Challenge, and have graced enough 95+ point scores to make us blush, so we have especially high hopes for the 2020...
