Domaine Evremond

What Domaine Evremond does

Domaine Evremond is an English sparkling wine producer operating as a Franco-British joint venture between Champagne Taittinger and UK wine distributor Hatch Mansfield, founded in 2015 and headquartered at a 125-hectare estate near Chilham, Kent, with 60 hectares planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and an additional 10 hectares of planting planned. The company produces Classic Cuvée, classified as Quality English Sparkling Wine, made via méthode traditionnelle with a minimum of three years of lees aging in a subterranean, gravity-led winery that opened for its first harvest in autumn 2024. Commercial release of Classic Cuvée Edition I began in Spring 2025, followed by Edition II. Operations are led by Vineyard Director Christelle Rinville (working between Champagne and Kent) and Chef de Cave Alexandre Ponnavoy, with co-founders Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and Patrick McGrath MW overseeing strategic direction.

The business generates revenue through four streams: direct-to-consumer wine sales at the Cellar Door in Chilham; paid tasting and tour experiences (Classic Cuvée Tasting at £25, Tour & Tasting at £60, Flavours of Kent at £140, Sparkling Stillness Gong Bath at £35, In Concert at £65); event hosting including free Saturday live music and monthly oyster evenings; and private hire of the Cellar Door for parties and corporate events seating up to 40 guests. UK trade distribution is handled exclusively through Hatch Mansfield, leveraging its long-standing relationship with Champagne Taittinger. The customer base is a mix of wine tourists and enthusiasts visiting the cellar door (primary), UK trade and hospitality (secondary), and private/corporate event clients (tertiary). Marketing is built on website content, Instagram, an email newsletter ('Join the inner circle'), press coverage, and an event-driven calendar that includes partnerships with The Great Little Orchestra and Whitstable Oyster Co., as well as participation in the Wine Garden of England collective.
