Domaine Evremond Classic Cuvee Brut Edition 2 NV

Domaine Evremond launched at Westminster Abbey in 2015, making English Sparkling Wine history. A unique partnership between Champagne Taittinger and their British friends, Hatch Mansfield, this marked the first time that a Champagne house had invested in the United Kingdom with the ambition of producing a top quality sparkling wine. It is an endeavour bonded by history, friendship and collaboration, with authenticity and a sense of place at its heart.

Domaine Evremond takes its name from Charles de Saint-Évremond (1613-1703), a Frenchman and the first true ambassador for the wines of Champagne, who fuelled its popularity in England at the court of Charles II. A poet, epicurean and literary critic, he was buried in Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey. The Taittinger family, passionate historians, have always been inspired by the Evremond story and named their own historic venture in his memory.

Behind the label: The label for Domaine Evremond Classic Cuvée was inspired by archived imagery of the figure who gave the estate its name: Charles de Saint-Évremond. The label’s oval shape mirrors the frame of his 1659 portrait by Pieter van Gunst, while the estate’s emblem, the cinquefoil (a heraldic five-petalled flower), is fashioned after Charles de Saint-Évremond’s crest.

Location and Winery: With the perfect combination of deep, free draining chalk soils, south facing slopes and the ideal altitude some 50 to 90m above sea level, the original site of Stone Stile Farm's apple and pear orchards, close to the archetypal Kent village of Chilham became the natural home to establish the Domaine Evremond estate. Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty the winery, along with the Cellar Door, is located at the heart of the estate. Designed by a leading French architect and built by an expert UK team, it is a true example of collaboration in the spirit of Domaine Evremond. Built with sustainability at the fore, the majority of the sympathetically designed winery is subterranean and provides a natural gravity-led winemaking process. The design allows an uncompromising approach to quality winemaking.

The Wine: The Classic Cuvée expresses the heart and soul of Domaine Evremond. The Kentish terroir, with its chalky soils mixed with flints and oceanic influence, is expressed through the wine’s minerality and precision. The wine is fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel vats and undergoes malolactic fermentation.

Weather in 2021: The 2021 growing season was defined by low pressure weather systems bringing a wetter and cooler year, with the vines now ageing they produced a smaller harvest but with good ripeness. It was also the second year where the grapes were pressed on site at the new winery in Chilham.

Tasting Note: Surprisingly rich, creamy nose – a nod to Comtes de Champagne?! Much broader than Edition I, arguably less refreshing in fact, but a wine for food perhaps? (It’s not to be released for a few months.) So ripe, I’m not sure I would guess it was English if served it blind. The nose is already quite complex – amazingly so for an unreleased wine!.

Domaine Evremond History

In 2015, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and Patrick McGrath envisioned a joint venture between Champagne Taittinger and Hatch Mansfield to create a premium English sparkling wine. The team established three strict site selection criteria; any suitable land needed to be on chalk, south or southwest facing, and below 100 meters in altitude with natural shelter. England remains a marginal climate for grape growing, making site selection critical. From the outset, the search focused on Kent - "The Garden of England" - where arguably the best fruit is grown as it benefits from more sunshine hours than any other county in England.

In 2015, the team identified the ideal location in a beautiful fruit farm in Chilham, west of Canterbury, that was owned by third-generation fruit farmer Mark Gaskain. The deal was done, and that Autumn the creation of Domaine Evremond was announced at a press conference in Canterbury Cathedral, marking the first investment in the UK by a Champagne house. The venture was named after a Charles de Saint-Évremond (1613–1703), the man who introduced the early wines of Champagne to the court of Charles II and remains the only Frenchman buried in Poets' Corner at Westminster Abbey – a fitting homage to the friendship between the UK and France and the foundation of the Domaine Evremond project.

Today, Domaine Evremond remains the only English Sparkling wine with a Champagne house involved from its inception and created from scratch (rather than simply purchasing an existing vineyard) – a significant investment focussed on absolute quality, friendship, and the pursuit of excellence.

By 2017, 21 hectares of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier vines had been planted. The vineyard’s day-to-day management is overseen by Mark Gaskain and his team, under the supervision of Christelle Rinville, Taittinger’s Director of Viticulture. The first small crop was harvested in 2018, and the first meaningful crop followed in 2019. They were processed in the Domaine Evremond temporary winery, led by Taittinger’s Director of Winemaking Alexandre Ponnavoy. Since 2019, Christelle, Alexandre, and a dedicated team from Taittinger have travelled to Kent each harvest, demonstrating their unwavering commitment.

Today, over 60 hectares of vines have been planted. In 2022, construction began on a new winery, completed in August 2024, and on September 26th HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh officially opened the facility, an event that attracted significant media attention.

Expert Reviews

Jancis Robinson MW

““Second release of this Taittinger project in Kent, this time 80% based on the cooler, wetter 2021 vintage rather than the 2020. Rounded out by some 2020 and a little 2019. A bit more Pinot Noir this time, 65% rather than the debut release’s 55%. Chardonnay portion reduced from 35% to 25%. Each cuvée contains 10% Pinot Meunier, is aged three years on lees and has
a dosage of 7 g/l, but of course this second edition has presumably benefited from a year’s more vine age.

“12% alcohol. This is based on the 2021 vintage. Fine citrus on the nose with a hint of apple, with some supple toasty hints hiding in the background. The palate is bright and linear with focused lemony fruit to the fore, and keen acidity. It’s bright, lemony and vivid with real intensity. There are some complex herb and nut notes, but they are right in the back of the mix, with the lively citrus fruits dominating. Concentrated and long, with a slight sourness on the finish. This is really good, but could do with some time on cork to meld together and open out. 94/100”

Tom Cannavan

“The second release from the English estate established by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and Patrick McGrath MW in Kent, England. This 2021-based blend features reserve wines from 2019 and 2020. It is composed of Champagne's three principle grape varieties, majoring on Pinot Noir with 65%. It has a modest 7g/l dosage and spent three years on the lees. When first poured - fridge cold - this was sherbetty and attractive in a crisp style, but warming slightly it revealed much more depth, creaminess and autolysis coming through to add a background nuttiness. Delightful palate too, and though there is weight and texture, it has scintillating clarity and freshness, some sweetness to the fruit, but shimmering acidity.”
