OOH!I bet that will be nice. That's a little more mature than the Vintage Reserve that we usualy have but very hard to come by unless you order a case direct from Chapel Down.
happy New year!

Yes same in our house we’ve been drinking Chapel Down from Majestic Wine and the best thing is it’s only £16 and beats the French champagnes at twice the price. Still partial to a little Veuve Clicquot but after a meal you'd not tell them apart.

My wife, who is in London on business for the next couple weeks, bought a couple of bottles of Chapel Down's Three Graces to bring home with her. Looking forward to opening one on New Year's.

I just placed an order as my son's birthday (he'll be turning 21) is coming up. Hopefully it will be a success.

Actually, from memory, Bolney is just the latest of the wineries/vineyards local to me that have done very well against the French equivalents. I understand that both Ridgeview and Nyetimber have done well too, in recent years......

excusez-moi.... ha ha thats fantastic

I ordered a case of this on the strength of the naked wines tasting.

Not a fan of Moet so it shouldn't be hard to beat.

Ha ha! That's where my free empty wine bottles came from..... they're a nice bunch up at Bolney.
