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: Mercaptan
Organic compound resulting from the combination of alcohol and sulphide (H2S) producing an unpleasant odour reminiscent of town gas and rotten eggs.
