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 .
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 .

HOUSING EVREMOND ...
Building a winery for Domaine Evremond has been a patient and meticulous process . Beginning with designs in 2017 , we have worked with a team of experts to create a state-of-the-art winery that will house our wines for decades , even centuries , to come . After 5 years of design and planning , building began in 2022 .
It was important that the design complemented the beautiful Kent landscape around us and we also made sure that the building functioned as ecologically as possible . We even plan to add to the biodiversity at the site .
We are very proud of what has been designed and cannot wait for the building work to finish at the end of 2023 .
THE WAIT IS NEARLY OVER ...
Today , with 52 hectares now planted , we are gearing up for our 6 th harvest in 2023 . Our first ever disgorgement is a matter of months away , preparing us for the launch of our first ever release in September 2024 .
