Gusbourne’s Brut Reserve is the purest expression of the estate’s house style, crafted from a careful blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grown exclusively on its Kent and West Sussex vineyards. It embodies the balance Gusbourne strives for: crisp, orchard-fruit freshness seamlessly interwoven with depth, texture, and a touch of autolytic richness.
On the nose, aromas of green apple, ripe pear, and citrus zest are lifted by subtle notes of freshly baked brioche and roasted nuts. The palate is precise and vibrant, with a fine, persistent mousse that carries flavours of stone fruit and a delicate mineral edge. The finish is long and refreshing, marked by purity and poise.
The Brut Reserve is designed to be approachable on release yet complex enough to reward time in bottle. Its versatility makes it equally at home as an aperitif or alongside a wide range of dishes, from seafood and sushi to roast poultry.
This wine is more than just an introduction to Gusbourne — it is a benchmark for English sparkling wine itself. Elegant, expressive, and authentically English, Brut Reserve showcases why Gusbourne has become a standard-bearer for the new generation of world-class fizz.
