Happy World Champagne Day! Pour a glass of Chapel Down and enjoy with Michel and Emily Roux
To mark #WorldChampagneDay, we went undercover with @MichelRouxJr and Emily Roux to challenge perceptions of champagne and English sparkling wine…
Here’s what happened!

Delighted, proud and humbled to be a part of the great work at Chapel Down. Creating a brand new wine region here in Kent.
Perfect timing with Rosé weather arriving!
Days don’t get much better than this as an English wine brand.
We’re beyond thrilled to announce that our Chapel Down Rosé has won ‘Best in Show’ at the @DecanterAwards.

Boys Hall in Kent, what an amazing place. Delicious food and wine, stunning rooms and welcoming staff. What Brad and Kristie have achieved here is remarkable. Don’t wait until you come to Kent, make it the reason you come.

Great results from a great team. Bravo all round 👏
Today we published our audited results for the year ended 31st December 2023 and are pleased to report record company sales, strong profitable growth, and an exceptional harvest for 2023, as we continue to develop our market-leading brand, both in the UK and around the world.

What a lovely afternoon to say thank you to this wonderful team who helped hand pick the 2023 harvest. Lots of familiar faces and great to see some new ones too
Big harvest @ChapelDownWines so hard to fit all of the army of harvest workers into photo, but great to be able to say thanks with lunch and 🥂 in sunshine today! 🙏

Great work by John and the team, what a tasting!
How does English Chardonnay age? I tasted through eight vintages of @ChapelDownWines Kit's Coty from 2013 to 2020 to find out.

It was an absolute pleasure to host Darren from the NFU here at Tenterden to share our wines and talk about what Chapel Down is doing
@ChapelDownWines is a well travelled and much loved brand. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing some special videos from Darren's visit back in the summer, where he learns about the vineyard. The English wine revolution is well underway, and we are proud to be a part of it!
Some of the lovely people we’ve been lucky enough to work with who’ve been a part of our team for harvest
The exceptional quality of fruit from the 2022 harvest has only been possible thanks to the hard work and dedication of our talented vineyard team. Today we recognised their efforts with a harvest lunch and raised a glass to the exciting year ahead! 🥂#EnglishWine #Harvest #Kent
Kind words indeed for a wine which is close to my heart
Described as a “must buy white wine”, Chapel Down Kit’s Coty Bacchus scores 94/100 in this month’s @Decanter magazine. Order online today for £180 (£30p/btl) inc free delivery chapeldown.com/products/kits…
