“Splendid new Sussex fizz: it made me feel ludicrously happy for days!” – Olly Smith
Busi Jacobsohn are one of the most exciting new talents in the English wine game and their Cuvée Brut is an absolute delight.
Transcending the burgeoning English sparkling wine category Busi Jacobsohn is the epitome of European elegance. The brand was created by an Italian and Swedish couple – Susanna Busi and Douglas Jacobsohn – at Blackdon Farm on the beautiful High Weald just south of Tunbridge Wells. Here they use the traditional method made world-famous by Champagne and vines from Burgundy clones to create wines that are a celebration of Europe. Their very first wine was awarded 94 points by the Decanter World Wine Awards putting this new venture firmly on the fine wine map but also on a trajectory to become a world-beater.
What pours from the strikingly designed bottle is a golden Chardonnay-dominated fizz that’s so perfectly put together it almost feels as if Marie Kondo has folded arranged and organised all its component parts. There’s a creamy mousse a fine bead crisp clarity and a wine that instantly feels like an old friend. Raise a flute and you’ll be met by a rich combination of apple pie almond croissants poached pears apricot pastries and lightly toasted hazelnut skins. As well as being perfect for celebrations and aperitifs it also makes an exquisite match to smoked salmon pâté buttered asparagus creamy pasta and truffles. And it’s refreshing to see a progressive producer clearly marking that this wine is suitable for vegans on its back label.
Founded in 2015 Busi Jacobsohn is very much a family-run wine estate. Douglas Jacobsohn stepped down as chief executive of an insurance company working in London to follow a dream that he and his wife Susanna had of making their own wine. After extensive training at Plumpton College Douglas spends his days among the vines while Susanna takes care of the organisational side. Their sons Charles and Tom help with design marketing and the vineyards; and their friends and family all pitch in at harvest time following the classic Italian tradition of Vendemmia. We're proud to be one of the first stockists of Busi Jacobsohn and cannot recommend it highly enough.
