The 2022 vintage reflects a particularly warm and sunny growing season in England, allowing the grapes to develop excellent ripeness while retaining the freshness essential to fine sparkling wine. Chardonnay provides elegance and structure, while the traditional Champagne varieties contribute complexity, delicate red-fruit character and depth.

The palate is fresh and lively, with fine persistent bubbles, a creamy texture and a subtle biscuity character. Bright citrus acidity brings balance and definition, leading to a long, elegant finish.
A wonderful choice for celebrations, special occasions and entertaining, Chapel Down Brut Reserve is equally enjoyable as an aperitif or served alongside seafood, grilled chicken, smoked salmon and delicate canapés. A sophisticated example of English sparkling wine that offers both freshness and complexity.
