Chapel Down Kit’s Coty Blanc de Blancs 2015

Chapel Down’s second Blanc de Blancs comes from their Kit’s Coty vineyard on the North Downs of Kent. This wine shows typical aromas of cool climate Blanc de Blancs; green apple and freshly baked bread. It has a savoury finish with fine, persistent bubbles. The palate is showing development from maturation on lees and a toasty character from partial barrel fermentation. The grapes were harvested by hand in October. This refined sparkling wine has undergone malolactic fermentation and 15% of the blend is matured in barrel before being left to age on its lees for four years before release. Kit’s Coty vineyard is a 95 acre vineyard on the North Downs of Kent. The southerly aspect ensures the vines capture the sunshine all year long while the warm, free-draining chalk soils provide the perfect terroir for producing well balanced, intensely flavoured fruit. Restricting yields and maintaining vine balance allow vines to fulfil their potential, producing fruit that truly express their identity and the unique qualities of the soil.
