The former went into the heady world of finance in the\u00a0City of London, while the latter headed off to France to forge a career\u00a0in the world of wine. In 2006 they hatched a plot, Nick having had enough of the City, and Christian successfully heading up AXA&#8217;s interests in Bordeaux (Pichon Baron and Suduiraut) and Portugal (Quinta do Noval) as well as his own interests in France and Portugal, together with his French wife, Corinne, a winemaker of course.<\/p>\n<p>Their dream of making great sparkling wine in Hampshire, that would reflect the best of the English chalk\u00a0terroir together with the established craft of the French winemaker, came alive when they discovered an all but abandoned vineyard in one of Hampshire&#8217;s most beautiful and best sited valleys.<\/p>\n<p>Their first release is a very pretty ros\u00e9 made entirely from the 2009 vintage, and delicately pale as a result of the briefest contact of the juice with the skins. Medium bodied, the\u00a0delicate sweetness\u00a0of cranberry and strawberry fruit is beautifully tempered by\u00a0a sherbert acidity and delicate mousse, making it a lovely wine for an English summer day.<\/p>\n<p>Rule Britannia!
