Chalklands Classic Cuvée N.V. - Extended Lees Ageing Magnum

Created from Estate grown Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes, our Classic Method Classic Cuvée is the epitome of English elegance. This late-disgorged, magnum-format, offers a luxurious drinking experience, with complex layers of flavour, linear precision and impressive length.

Our 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, our Chalklands NV spends between 24 months ageing on yeast lees prior to disgorgement.
