This is 100% Pinot Noir, and made by the very exacting saignée method (on the skins).
Decanter rates it a sky-high 97 points (their top British bubbly rating ever):
Wonderful power here. Aromatically concentrated with bright, fresh strawberry and raspberry characters. Lively and zesty on the palate with vivacious raspberry flavours, creamy mousse, and toasty complexity. Long, finessed finish.
The Wine Enthusiast raved over it, too:
The aromas on the wine’s subtle nose are a mix of creaminess and beautifully aromatic red apple flesh. The palate comes in with a beautifully proportioned body where ripeness, texture and fruit are a perfect counterbalance to the English freshness. It is this briskness, in turn, that highlights the beautiful balance and subtle, creamy autolysis. A classy, grown-up, creamy wine with lively mousse and lasting fruit.
