Domaine Evremond ‘Edition I’ Classic Cuve NV is an English Sparkling Wine made from a varietal blend of Pinot Noir (55%), Chardonnay (35%) and Pinot Meunier (10%) grapes. The wine is fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel vats and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Ageing takes place on the lees for three years. The Classic Cuve expresses the heart and soul of Domaine Evremond. The Kentish terroir, with its chalky soils and oceanic influence, is expressed through the wines minerality and precision.

The NV Brut Classic Cuve Edition I is the inaugural release of Champagne Taittinger’s English sparkling wine project founded in 2014, made from vines planted in 2017 in chalk and flint soils in Kent. It is based on the 2020 vintage with around 25% of reserve wines dating to the tiny first vintage of 2018 and the first proper vintage in 2019, all fermented and aged in stainless steel only, undergoing full malolactic conversion. The wine is a blend (…) reflecting the current plantings at the 69-hectare estate. A citric, bright lemon and green apple freshness defines the lively nose of the wine. More air allows lemony Viennoiserie to peep through, as well as an ozone breeze. Fine, creamy bubbles immediately distinguish the slender palate, where more lemon freshness is bedded in the smoothness of that exemplary mousse. An impressive and elegant debut, svelte and clean-cut, especially considering the Pinot Noir dominance of the wine. Chpeau.

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