The wine region of Sussex
English wine county in the south-east, 28% of British wine and home to the great sparklers. Chalky clay-limestone soils (extension of the Paris Basin, same as Champagne). Signature traditional-method sparklers: lively and chiselled with notes of green apple, citrus, brioche, white flowers and a chalky mineral touch, fine bubble — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, 15 months on lees. Cool-climate acidity and finesse.
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: Carbonic maceration
Fermentation of whole grapes in a carbon dioxide-saturated atmosphere. This type of fermentation produces very aromatic and flattering wines.
