Cuvee Boz is Dermot Sugrue's only Blanc de Blancs, produced from Chardonnay from Jenkyn Place in Hampshire (who Dermot has worked with for years). It is a special release wine, limited edition, and dedicated to Dermot's late brother Boz. Dermot wanted to make a special wine and he has done so here - it is truly exceptional.
100% fermented in stainless steel with full malolactic fermentation, dosage 9g/L. The nose is enticing, laden with notes of citrus, subtle tropical fruit, brioche and apple. The mouthfeel is wonderful, crisp, silky, pure and fresh with zippy acidity and a finish that probably lasts two minutes. Beautifully balanced and revealing more of itself as you sip - a bit of biscuit, lemon curd, minerals - it's a wine made for extended ageing, although it is truly lovely now. I've been instructed to add to our cellar by Jo, who loved it, as did I.
