UK FIRST FOR TAITTINGER
Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, President of Champagne
Taittinger, made English Sparkling Wine history when he planted his first vines in Taittinger’s new Domaine Evremond vineyard in Chilham – the first Grande Marque Champagne House to plant vines in the UK.
Pierre-Emmanuel was joined by his wife Claire, daughter, Vitalie, and representatives from Taittinger’s UK agency and partner Hatch Mansfield, to plant the first of 20 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier vines at the new estate. Champagne Taittinger acquired the Kent farmland in autumn 2015, announcing the launch of Domaine Evremond that December. The initial planting to bring the Domaine Evremond vineyard to life took place in May, with plans to plant a total of 40 hectares over the next two to three years. The first English Sparkling wine from
Domaine Evremond should be released for drinking in 2023, after three years of ageing in bottle. • Visit
