N/V Classic Cuvée Edition 1, Domaine Evremond, Kent (Base vintage 2020)
New release
Classic Cuvée Edition 1 is the inaugural release from Domaine Evremond, a joint-venture between two longstanding friends, Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and Patrick McGrath MW. A blend of 2020 (80%) and 2019 (20%) sourced from the original plots of the estate, the Classic Cuvée was aged on lees for three years. Aromas of citrus, toast, seashells and white blossom. The crisp, saline palate reflects English-style freshness and the chalky soil. However malolactic fermentation brings roundness and texture with notes of green fruits, white peach and a pinch of white pepper. A refined mousse leads to a hint of crushed almond on the finish. Precise and elegant, it's perfect to drink now but should benefit from further ageing under cork.
