#Champagne Taittinger planting vineyards in Kent

http://secretsommelier.com/sparkling/417-taittinger-domaine-evremond Introducing Taittinger in Kent: Domaine Evremond Much of the wine news is rightly centred on the recent frosts that have now claimed some substantial victims in southern England right on the back of losses in Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Loire. In defiance to these woes one of the wine world’s biggest names, Champagne Taittinger, hosted a very jolly day at their new estate, Evremond, in the Kent countryside, inviting us to plant vines and speak to their team. As we trod our way into the muddy fields, a light effervescing rain was upstaged by the generous pouring of Taittinger’s Comtes de Champagne 2006 - a magnificently elegant wine that typifies both the history and fresh forward outlook of the sparkling world’s most famous region.
