Simpsons Chalklands Classic Cuvée NV Kent

40% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Meunier

Their Chalklands Non-Vintage Classic Cuvée is crafted from a blend of specially-selected base wines from three exceptional years. During each respective harvest the grapes from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier vines are picked separately over a two-week period. Each variety is then individually fermented using a selection of different yeasts.

All components undergo malolactic fermentation and spend 3 months in tank ageing on light lees.  After a series of tastings, the wines are carefully blended, filtered and bottled, ready to undergo the ‘prise de mousse’. Following bottle fermentation, Chalklands NV spends between 12 -18 months ageing on yeast lees prior to disgorgement.
