Blanc de Blancs Cellar Release Cork Aged Twenty Twelve
From the London Olympic year, a smaller-yielding season which ultimately delivered fruit of excellent ripeness and acidity. With further time under cork, this mature Blanc de Blancs offers a beautiful expression of restraint and balance.
This vintage wine is part of our members-only Cellar Release: a one-off collection from Gusbourne’s private cellars, created to mark the anniversary of our 20th vintage. This cork-aged release offers a different perspective on cellar ageing, showing how our wines continue to evolve after disgorgement and time under cork.

VINTAGE REPORT
An early April bud burst was followed by a warm, dry spring and early summer, bringing quick flowering and successful fruit development. After a slower, unsettled July and August, excellent September and October weather delivered full ripeness and one of the standout vintages of the decade.
