Chapel Down

Chapel Down from Kent is not a Champagne house, but England's largest sparkling wine producer. On the chalky soils of Southeast England, which are geologically closely related to the Champagne region, sparkling wines are created using traditional bottle fermentation, often from the classic Champagne grape varieties.

Here Chapel Down represents the emerging English sparkling wine scene, which is stylistically getting closer and closer to Champagne, without itself being Champagne.
