Ground to glass

The site was chosen for chalk, south-facing slopes and shelter, the same qualities prized in Champagne (Decanter). Before the winery opened, the wines were made in a barn on the grower's estate where the vines were planted. The 2024 harvest was the first made in the new winery (Fine + Rare).

Nick's visit

"The tour is unhurried and intimate: stroll through the vines, soak up the stories, and learn about their winemaking journey from ground to glass." Read the full story in Across the Channel.
