Wines made from Précoce de Malingre grapes of England
Discover the best wines made with Précoce de Malingre as a single variety or as a blend of England.
Very early table grape with golden, thin-skinned and juicy berries, showing simple fresh aromas of white-fleshed fruit and flowers. Occasionally vinified into simple, lively dry whites for early drinking. Mainly destined for fresh consumption at the start of the season, well suited to northern viticultural climates. Grown in France and Germany. French white variety, an early mutation obtained in the 19th century by Malingre.
Quality renaissance of English wine, signature in traditional-method sparklers. On chalk soils identical to Champagne's (South-East), fine, taut bubbles with signature notes of green apple, lemon, white flowers, brioche and chalk, the vivid acidity of a cool climate. Based on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Still wines a minority: aromatic Bacchus (elderflower, cut grass — the English identity), fresh Pinot Noir.
