“Like many, I know the Hambledon wines very well, and I have been a fan since day one, but this magnum is a very different proposition from the bottles I have tasted.  Of course, age is a factor.  The base wine in the magnums on the market right now is 2016.  No others are available, so you can be sure that if you buy this wine from the Hambledon website, it will be the 2016-base-creation.  The second factor is the format.  It’s the only sensible format if you want to taste a wine at its very best.  No other bottle size comes close to a magnum, and I have put 40 years of my life into this exhaustive, enjoyable, and anecdotal research!  Interestingly, almost all of the depth of flavour and luxuriousness come from the 57% Chardonnay, 27% Pinot Noir, and 16% Pinot Meunier fruit.  I say this because only 5.5% barrel fermentation was employed, with a controlled dosage of 8 g/L addition.  This wine was bottled in June 2017 and disgorged in September last year (after 98 months on its lees), so it has already enjoyed the perfect life ahead of us knocking off its top!  In fact, I will go further.  This is the finest Hambledon incarnation I have ever tasted and then look at the price!  Is this the finest value English Sparkler of the moment?  I awarded it a 19/20 score in my notes.  Given the flavour, which is simply jaw-dropping, with beautiful, layered fruit and cleansing, nerve-tingling acidity, this is an absolute must-have for all readers, and especially if you are celebrating this summer.  Nothing says it quite like a magnum, as you all know, and this is one of the best around.”

Tasting Notes

The magnum showcases a well-balanced blend of traditional grapes, handpicked on our own estate. Aged for 98 months on lees, it exudes vibrancy and boasts structured yet ripe acidity. Splendid golden apple, pear and zingy lemon fragrance softly drapes over a backdrop of baked caramel biscuits. Poised and stirring with silky bubbles and mineral length.
