DOMAINE EVREMOND EDITION I A RARE FIRST EDITION LAUNCH I am delighted to offer the first ever vintage of Domaine Evremond, Taittinger’s first English Sparkling Wine. Marked on the neck as ‘Edition I’, this limited global release comes with our STRONG BUY recommendation.
6x75cl - £235 in bond This landmark project began in 2015 when Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and Patrick McGrath MW envisioned creating a premium English sparkling wine. After an extensive search, they secured a remarkable site in Chilham, Kent – “The Garden of England” – where south-facing chalk slopes and optimal shelter provide the perfect conditions for growing exceptional fruit. Domaine Evremond Edition I is a classic cuvée comprising 55% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, and 10% Pinot Meunier. With 80% of the fruit from 2020 and 20% from 2019, it was bottled in June 2021 and disgorged in August 2024, benefiting from over three years on the lees. The result is a wine of remarkable finesse, complexity, and elegance – already garnering high praise from those fortunate enough to taste it. Scored 93 points by Vinous, Anne Krebiehl MW wrote: 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. Châpeau! This is a stunning first edition from a producer that is likely to rocket straight to the top of the English Sparkling Wine tree, especially with the might and expertise of Taittinger behind it. Our advice is to secure an allocation of this superb wine at first asking. More information overleaf...
