Simpsons Flint Fields Blanc de Noirs

Simpsons Flint Fields Blanc de NoirsWith a golden hue and a fine, persistent bead, this wine has luxurious, ptisserie and citrus peel aromas. On the palate it shows precision and poise, with quince and rosehip notes, perfectly married with hints of frangipane and wonderful savoury nuances. It is bone dry and has a smooth, elegant finish.
