Their 2011 Blanc de Noirs was dunked into the sea to age and drift with the tides to test the effects of underwater ageing on sparkling and is now being carefully wrapped, to not disturb the Bryozoa and sediments, and shipping to their BB Club members. There are a limited memberships still available in their BB Club if you want to receive these kind of experiments on an ongoing basis – visit the Benjamin Bridge website for more details: https://benjaminbridge.com/pages/bb-club
