Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Three Graces is Chapel Down’s Vintage expression, named after the three grape varieties composing it: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Complex aromas of ripe apple, red berries and brioche are followed by a rich palate with fantastic length and persistent bubbles.

This wine pairs perfectly with shellfish and light brunch options. A great alternative to vintage champagne.

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    Delicate aromas of pear, strawberry, honeyed apricot and orchard blossoms are ensconced in a rich, toasty frame. Though dry overall, a hint of sweetness can be felt on the palate. Persistent bubbles, fresh acidity and a slippery texture make for frighteningly easy drinking.

Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.

The limestone soils of England’s southern end have proven ideal for the production of British sparkling wine. While it might seem too damp and cold for grape growing in England, recent warm summers and the onset of global warming signify great future growth for the British wine industry.
