CHAPEL DOWN GROUP PLC KIT'S COTY Blanc de Blancs White 2017 English Quality Wine
Description
Viticulture
Kit’s Coty vineyard is a 95-acre vineyard on the North Downs of Kent. The southerly aspect ensures the vines capture the sunshine all year long while the warm, free draining chalk soils provide the perfect terroir for producing well balanced, intensely flavoured fruit. Restricting yields and maintaining vine balance allow vines to fulfil their potential, producing fruit that truly express their identity and the unique qualities of the soil.
Vinification
Harvested by hand in September and October, this refined sparkling wine has undergone malolactic fermentation.
Wine aging
29% of the blend is matured in barrel before being left to age on its lees for three and a half years before release

Tasting notes
This wine shows typical aromas of cool climate Blanc de Blancs, fresh apples and buttery pastry. The palate is fresh yet shows development for maturation in bottle and has a toasty character from partial barrel fermentation which leads to a savoury finish with fine, persistent bubbles.
