Sugrue Sparkling Blanc de Blancs Cuvee Boz Brut Chardonnay England Great Britain 2015 750ml

Winemaker Description

Dermot Surgue has been behind some of the best English wines over the last two decades. He is the man “who put English sparkling wine on the map”(Independent Newspaper) and was even called the “best winemaker in England” by the late, great Steven Spurrier.

Made in tribute to his late brother, the Sugrue Cuve Boz Blanc de Blancs 2015 is a magical release from the Jenkyn Place single-vineyard in Hampshire. When Vinous’s Neal Martin, the “most famous and influential wine reviewer in the world” (Greg Sherwood MW), calls the 2015 Cuve Boz an “outstanding English sparkling wine” and ‘one of the best’ he has tasted, then one takes notice.

Expert Review

Scoring 18/20 from JancisRobinson.com’s Tamlyn Currin, her joint-highest ever scoring English sparkling, and 94 points from Vinous, this chiselled Blanc de Blancs is “charged with the purest canon of English fruit” (TC). A 2015 that is “very well balanced and poised, quite weighty” (VN) on the palate, this new edition of Cuve Boz has a wonderful minerality that cuts through the gorgeous notes of ripe pear and elderflower honey “like a flashing blade of Valyrian steel” (TC). With an advised drinking window up to 2036, this will have the cellar life of a top quality Champagne.
