Gusbourne Blanc De Blancs 2020 / Gift Box: Joyful Effervescence

Aiko Tanaka — Converted me to English sparkling

8/10

The guy at my local wine shop talked me into trying this instead of my usual Champagne and fair play to him. Gorgeous pear and citrus notes, really refreshing acidity without being tart. I'm a Chardonnay fan anyway so this was right up my street.

Isabella Rossi — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Bought this for my wife's 40th and we were both blown away. Really creamy bubbles with this lovely apple and pear thing going on. At sixty quid it's not cheap but honestly it felt special enough for the occasion. Would definitely buy again for a celebration.

Ravi Krishnan — Proper English fizz

8/10

Had this at a friend's wedding and tracked it down afterwards. It's got that toasty bread thing underneath but still tastes really fresh and fruity — green apple mostly. Fine mousse too, not those aggressive bubbles you get with cheaper stuff.
