Simpsons - Chalklands Classic Cuvée, Kent, England (N.V.)

TASTING NOTES

Chalklands Classic Cuvée epitomises English elegance, is pale gold in colour and exhibits fresh notes of crisp green apple balanced with nuances of flint. linear precision and impressive structure and length.

The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier vines are picked separately over a two-week period. Each variety is then individually fermented using a selection of different yeasts. 

All components undergo malolactic fermentation and spend 3 months in tank ageing on light lees.  After a series of tastings, the wines are carefully blended, filtered and bottled, ready to undergo the ‘prise de mousse’. Following bottle fermentation, the Chalklands NV spends between 12 -18 months ageing on yeast lees prior to disgorgement.
