In 2018 both the winery and tasting room was greatly expanded and is now one of the best visitor and winemaking facilities in England. \nIt was Leslie’s idea to plant the original vines at Hush Heath in 2002\, with a view to making a pink sparkling wine of equivalent quality to Billecart Salmon Rosé – their favourite pink Champagne. And so\, five acres were planted with an aim to produce a wine they would love. “If we can’t sell it”\, they thought\, “we’ll drink it”. \nFortunately\, when Balfour Brut Rosé was launched in 2004 it quickly became a major success\, winning a gold medal and trophy in the International Wine Challenge for its first vintage. The accolades did not stop there and Balfour Brut Rosé was the first English Sparkling wine served on British Airways First Class worldwide. It was also chosen as the only English wine to be served at the London 2012 Olympics. It has truly earned its title of “England’s most exclusive pink fizz”. \nAbout Gusbourne\n \nMaking exception wine takes craftsmanship\, respect for nature… and uncompromising attention to detail. \nAndrew Weeber\, Gusbourne Founder \nFrom the moment we planted our first vines in 2004\, our vision has been to create the finest vintage wines using grapes exclusively from our own vineyards. \nWe grow the highest quality Chardonnay\, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes across the Gusbourne Estate\, with 60 hectares in Appledore\, Kent and 30 hectares next to the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex. These predominantly Burgundian clones yield smaller volumes of intensely flavourful fruit\, which thrive in our unique microclimates. This exceptional produce is the vital first ingredient in making our award-winning sparkling wines\, all crafted using the traditional method. \nOur debut vintages – Brut Reserve 2006 and Blanc de Blancs 2006 – were released in 2010 to critical acclaim\, earning accolades from the world’s most exacting wine critics. Gusbourne sparkling and still wines continue to win prestigious national and international industry awards every year. \nTimetable for the day\nYou will have the opportunity to meet with other members of Sommelier Edit throughout the day. A light lunch will be provided and a tutored tasting for sommeliers with the team at Balfour and Gusbourne will be arranged for you. This will ensure you have the opportunity to ask questions and learn everything you want to know about the best English wine making techniques. \n\n10.30 Meet at Marden Train Station for transfer to Balfour Hush Heath\n11.00am Welcome and exclusive tour with private wine tasting at Balfour Hush Heath\n12.30pm Light lunch and refreshments\n1.15pm Depart for Gusbourne\n2.00pm Welcome and exclusive tour with wine tasting at Gusbourne\n4.30pm Depart for transfer to Ashford International train station\n\nTrain times\nWe recommend purchasing your tickets in advance for the following train times from/to London: \n\n09.29 London Charing Cross direct train to Marden\, 53mins\, arrives at 10.23 (approx £17 one way)\n17.16 Ashford International direct train\, 38mins\, to London St Pancras arriving 17.54 (approx £12 one way)\n\nImportant notes\n\nThis event is FREE for members of Sommelier Edit and includes your guide tour\, lunch\, refreshments\, travel to Gusborne and travel to departure train station.\nYou must purchase your own train tickets from/to London or make your own travel arrangements to the meeting point and onwards at the end of the day.

With a dosage of 17g/l and an extensive eleven-year aging process in the cellar\, it boasts complexity\, roundness\, and gastronomic excellence. The teams’ task is to pair this cuvée with a savoury dish\, which is uncommon as it is typically associated with sweeter courses. This challenge will encourage fresh thinking and creativity. \nThe panel of judges\, led by Matthieu Longuère MS\, Wine Director at Le Cordon Bleu\, along with Odilon de Varine from Champagne Gosset and Will Oatley from Louis Latour Agencies\, are joined by guest judges Tina Gellie from Decanter Magazine\, Leona di Pasquale from Camellia and Vine and Benjamin Fera Y Castell from Pavyllon restaurant. Together they are pleased to announce the five finalists for this year’s competition: \nRepresenting Albatross Death Cult in Birmingham in the final are Chef Oliver Grieve and Sommelier Camilla Bonnannini\, who will create their dish of Quail\, Nam Jim\, and carrot prepared in three different ways. This pairing is proposed to complement Gosset Petite Douceur Rosé’s sophisticated aromas of raisins\, figs\, dried plums\, and cloves with a delicate balance of acidity and freshness with a smooth finish accented by flavors of ripe strawberries and orange peel. The sweet and tangy spices in their Nam Jim sauce and fresh carrots perfectly balance out the complexity of the wine. Opting for quail instead of duck breast due to its subtle flavor\, they drew inspiration from their shared experience with Asian cuisine\, highlighting the nuances of the wine. \nChef Steven Howell and Sommelier Jordan Ingram from Frog by Adam Handling Restaurant Covent Garden in London have chosen scallops as the main ingredient for their dish due to its natural sweetness\, light flavour profile\, and soft texture. To enhance the sweetness of Gosset Petite Douceur Rosé\, they will serve the scallops raw to maintain their delicacy without overpowering the umami flavours of the wine. Plum is incorporated for its balanced sweetness and acidity\, served both raw and as a gel. Black radish provides a slight crunch and heat\, while a pureed salsa of apple\, parsley\, and chervil contribute the main acidity component\, balanced by subtle sweetness and herbaceous notes. \nSommelier Erin Donnelly and chef Joseph Hendry-Burgess from Heron in Edinburgh will create their Sika Deer tartare with pine-smoked egg jam\, nettle chimichurri\, and tempura nettles. Showcasing locally sourced Scottish produce\, they will use Sika Deer from Hearthstanes Steadings and foraged nettles and sweet alyssum. The delicate flavour of the venison tartare is paired with the freshness of Gosset Petite Douceur Rosé. Brown butter croutons add a touch of toasted notes to complement the wine\, while the fresh nettle chimichurri brings out its fruitiness. The pine-smoked egg jam contributes richness\, creates a perfect balance with the cuvée’s creamy mousse. \nSommelier Henna Zinzuwadia and chef Anurag Singh from Pahli Hill in London will make a Miso-cured red mullet with Datterini tomato uttapam and courgette flower pakora\, accompanied by red mullet shorba. Drawing inspiration from the Indian Ocean\, their dish celebrates their cultural backgrounds and pairs perfectly with Gosset Petite Douceur Rosé. The mild-flavoured red mullet is cured with Indian spices and red miso to enhance its taste. It is complemented by the earthy\, crunchy courgette flower pakora and sweet\, savory uttapam. The shorba\, a rich fish soup\, brings out the champagne’s crisp acidity and red fruit notes to balance out the bold flavours of the dish. \nChef Robert Veitch and Sommelier Davide Santeramo from The Ritz London will present a delicately cooked lobster with subtly spiced carrot puree\, roasted almond purée\, herbal seasoned carrots\, pearls of finger lime\, and a creamy lemon verbena sauce. After thorough analysis\, they found that lobster pairs harmoniously with Gosset Petite Douceur Rosé. The addition of nut components adds a crunchy texture and sweet\, earthy note\, while the carrot and finger lime elevate the wine’s complex flavour. The creamy\, herbal sauce ties all the flavours together to create a perfect match for this cuvée. \nThis competition not only highlights the significance of pairing food and wine\, but also celebrates the crucial partnership between aspiring sommeliers and chefs who create flawless pairings in restaurants across the nation. Each finalist was carefully chosen through a rigorous selection process and has under five years of experience as either a chef or sommelier\, ensuring equal opportunity for all competing teams.

Blind spirit identification is also part of the service. \nThe blind tasting segment involves assessing six wines based on sight\, smell\, and taste to identify their color\, age\, alcohol content\, origin\, and appellation. The competition follows the Master Sommelier Advanced Examination format\, with scoring based on deductive reasoning. \nThe competition aims to support and encourage young professionals while raising funds for wine education.
