English fizz from the South Downs, with bright orchard fruit and a fine, nervy bead. It suits a hostess who plunges into the day with such delight.
Long the Champagne of the English establishment, it is elegant, brioche-edged and perfectly composed. Under the poise there is depth, as with Clarissa's party and the shadow Septimus casts across it.
Clarissa buys the flowers herself, and a single London day opens into whole lives, memory and grief running under the party preparations. Woolf's streaming prose is at once festive and elegiac.
