BLACK CHALK
2022 Classic Brut
| Grapes | Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier |
| Colour | White |
| Origin | United Kingdom, English Sparkling Wine |
| ABV | 12% |
Black Chalk Classic is always Chardonnay-led, both on the palate and the nose and this vintage is no exception; it has a wonderful precise fruit focus, and the palate is textured and full. A small amount of malolactic fermentation on the base wines creates weight and richness, whilst still allowing the wine to retain a fresh edge that is a hallmark for Black Chalk wines. The perfect aperitif with crisps and canapés. For an everyday pairing you can’t beat Classic with a good piece of fried chicken or for something a little more refined - try with shellfish like oysters, crab and prawns. L&S (Oct 2025)

Black Chalk is the passion project of Jacob Leadley. Started in 2015, Jacob started making wines in this beautiful corner of the Test Valley in Hampshire when he was still making wine at Hattingley. The first wines were released in 2018, and in 2020 his assistant at Hattingley, Zoe Driver, joined him and they've never looked back
Here, they are making some of the most exciting wines in England, in a meticulous and charmingly nerdy fashion. Across the 4 vineyards they own, they are working with 34 clones of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Précoce, and Pinot Gris, each with their own profile. However, most important of all is the solid chalk found beneath the shallow soils here. Many fishermen will recognise the Test Valley, famed for its chalk streams, but this great hunk of chalk beneath the vineyards is key to the purity and precision found in these wines.
We are incredibly excited to be working with these elegant, unique wines, made by a small but incredibly passionate team.
