Pommery is the first major French Champagne house to release an English Sparkling wine. Vranken Pommery has started it’s ‘English journey’ by creating an English Sparkling wine using the French Champagne making expertise of head wine-maker Clement Pierlot. It started planting vines in 2017 on Pinglestone Vineyard, with perfect ‘terroir’ of chalk subsoil, the principal grapes of Champagne, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier will be grown here but it is Chardonnay that will be predominant in the blend.
