English Sparkling Revolution
The chalk that surfaces in Sussex and Kent IS Champagne's chalk continuing under the English Channel — the same Cretaceous seabed, the same 65-million-year-old Belemnite limestone. Mike Roberts planted Ridgeview in 1995. In 2010, his wine beat Taittinger, Charles Heidsieck, and Thienot in a blind tasting at the Decanter World Wine Awards. Steven Spurrier — the man who organized the 1976 Judgment of Paris — tasted English sparkling in 1996 and said: 'Champagne. Chardonnay. Probably a Grand Cru.' England has grown 500% in vineyard hectares since 2005. Roberts died in 2014. His daughter Tamara runs Ridgeview now.
