Analytical data
Vineyard
Kit's Coty vineyard is a 95-acre site situated about 50m above sea level on the Late Cretaceous chalk of 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.

Viticulture
Restricting yields and maintaining vine balance allows vines to fulfil their potential, producing fruit that truly expresses their identity and the unique qualities of the soil.
Vinification
Chapel Down Kits Coty Coeur de Cuvee is made from the 'heart of the first pressing', the finest quality portion of the juice extracted exclusively from the first press cycle. This then undergoes wild fermentation and maturation in French oak for 7 months before bottling.
