The wine region of Kent
Southeastern English county, ~25% of the British vineyard, chalky North Downs soils comparable to Champagne, temperate maritime climate. Signature metodo classico sparklers: Chardonnay-Pinot Noir-Pinot Meunier blend with fine bubbles, pale robe, notes of green apple, citrus, brioche, hazelnut and chalky touch, lively palate — modern English reference. Bacchus as taut floral white (grapefruit, elderflower, boxwood). Chapel Down, Gusbourne flagships.
The wine region of England
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.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
