Chapel Down Brut NV from Kent, England is a polished expression of the rising quality of English sparkling wine. Produced in the traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Blanc, it reflects the cool maritime climate and chalk rich soils of southern England. The nose opens with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, layered with subtle notes of fresh brioche and toasted almond.
On the palate the wine is crisp and vibrant with fine persistent bubbles and lively acidity. Flavors of orchard fruit and citrus are complemented by hints of red berry and delicate pastry notes from lees aging. The finish is clean, bright, and mineral driven, leaving a refreshing impression that invites another sip. This elegant sparkling wine works beautifully as an aperitif and pairs well with oysters, seafood, and light appetizers
