Discover the grape variety: Pinot lièbault
Supple and fruity reds with a ruby hue, smooth tannins and an airy palate with fresh acidity, featuring signature aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), floral notes and gentle spices. Burgundian profile, later and more productive than classic Pinot Noir. Now almost extinct, it survives in a few old Burgundy vines and in variety conservation collections. Ancient variety of Pinot Noir selected by Charles Liébault in the 19th century in Burgundy.

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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
