Digging Evremond ...
Following the announcement , the hard work began , preparing the land for our first plantings . On the 3rd May 2017 , memorable as a ' typically British ' rainy , cold unseasonal May day , ' Digging Evremond ' celebrated our official planting . 20 hectares of Chardonnay , Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier were planted over one week .
Growing Evremond ...
Since then , the land and vines at Domaine Evremond have been carefully managed through a committed Franco-Anglo team effort . Christelle Rinville , Taittinger ’ s Vineyard Director is a frequent visitor to the vineyard , working alongside local farmer Mark Gaskain , who has been with us from the very beginning . Together they ensure we make the best of what we have , sharing their personal expertise of land and vine growing .
