A still Pinot Noir rounds out the core range. Wine Advocate has rated these releases, with both the Classic Cuvée Brut and Pinot Noir earning 88 points, while the Blanc de Blancs Brut scored 86. English sparkling wine has gained recognition for its precision and freshness, qualities that emerge from the maritime climate and chalky soils characteristic of the region.
