Lily Mixe Limited-edition Gusbourne Blanc de Blancs Twenty Sixteen

Our debut artist’s limited-edition pairs a beautifully matured Blanc de Blancs with Lily Mixe’s intricate artwork, presented in just 500 hand-numbered gift boxes.

Created to mark Gusbourne’s 20th vintage, this exclusive release brings together a decade of patient cellaring and artist Lily Mixe’s distinctive vision. Each bottle carries her original artwork, Roots-Nest: a memorable gift for a fine-wine lover, or a bottle to open for a special celebration.

Born midway between our debut harvest and our twentieth, Blanc de Blancs 2016 captures a significant moment in Gusbourne’s story. Five years on lees and a further four and a half ageing under cork have brought a beautiful balance of freshness and maturity, with layered complexity, toasted nut notes and a delicate hint of white mushroom.

“It’s at a beautiful point in its development; incredibly poised, layered, subtle and complex,” says Laura Rhys, Master Sommelier.

Lily’s artwork takes its inspiration from Butness, our oldest vineyard. Experimenting with clay and sand gathered from its soil, she explored the hidden life sustaining our vines. Her delicate composition of roots, tendrils and young berries connects the wine to its landscape.

Limited to 500 bottles, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a carefully cellared Gusbourne vintage in a presentation created especially for our anniversary.
