Best known in Champagne, England
One of the three main grapes of Champagne, alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It adds fruit, softness and early approachability to the blend. Increasingly made into still and sparkling wines in its own right, including in England.
Best known in Burgundy, Oregon, New Zealand
The great red grape of Burgundy. Cherry, raspberry, earthy and floral notes, with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Notoriously hard to grow well, but capable of extraordinary elegance, and a key grape in Champagne and English sparkling wine.
England
Chalk and greensand soils in south-east England, close to the coast. One of the leading areas for English sparkling wine, made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier by the traditional method. Crisp, elegant, finely bubbled wines that stand up well against good Champagne. Still wines are on the rise too.
