Balfour Blanc de Blancs 2022

Elegant • Precise • Rare

Balfour Blanc de Blancs is the English sparkling that might have you double-checking your tasting notes for Champagne. Made entirely from estate-grown Chardonnay on Kentish clay, it delivers baked apple, lemon curd, and a whisper of biscuit with a finesse that belies its island origins. Elegant, age-worthy, and quietly impressive, it’s a wine that rewards patience—both in the glass and in the cellar.

The Story

Produced only in exceptional years, this Blanc de Blancs is a masterclass in precision and restraint. The ripest fruit from our top vineyards is selected to create a wine of purity, structure, and longevity. Fermented and aged with care, it showcases chalk and clay character, fine persistent bubbles, and a bright, nuanced palate with hints of citrus, white pepper, and dried herbs. Gold at the Sommelier Wine Awards, silver at Wine GB, and all-round approval from those who taste for a living, Balfour Blanc de Blancs proves that English sparkling can be every bit as sophisticated as its French cousins. Refined, elegant, and unmistakably Balfour, it’s the wine for those who take their fizz seriously—but never themselves.
