Breaky Bottom Cuvee Cornelis Hendriksen Brut Traditional Method 2013

---

Only made in tiny quantities (6,743btls) at the tiny and legendary Breaky Bottom estate, planted in 1974 by visionary Peter Hall. Just 2 miles away from the English Channel, this hidden, deep chalky valley acts as a sun-trap and protects the vines from gusty coastal winds, providing an ideal microclimate for vine growing. Aged for 6 years on the lees prior disgorgement in March 2020, this particular cuvée, is dedicated to a dear friend of Peter and Christine Hall, Cornelis Hendriksen, an extraordinary man of Dutch origins, great character and cultivation who travelled the world and – as a doctor – brought medical care to people in remote rural areas such as natives from Australia.
