About the wine
Some things are just too good to miss as Charles and Ruth discovered with this seriously elegant white...
- As many of you know, we like a challenge and the thought of making still wine in England was one that was just too good to miss!
- We’d be the first to admit that we initially vowed never to make still wine in England, (being too used to the 320 days of sunshine at Domaine de Sainte Rose), however, the 2018 harvest was just so good we couldn’t resist trying!
- By selecting this wine, Naked Wines has made a commitment to supporting the dynamic English wine industry and by purchasing this wine, you Angels have supported a home grown product. It’s the only English Blanc de Noirs made from Pinot Meunier and is a fresh and elegant wine which we hope you enjoy!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Charles & Ruth Simpson
- 18 years ago, Charles & Ruth took a leap into the unknown. They quit their dull, corporate jobs. Hopped on the first plane to France. And bought up their own little patch of grape-growing land in Southern France.
- It turned out to be an inspired move. Since then their delicious, Angel-exclusive wines haven’t stopped scooping IWC and Decanter World Wine Awards and rave reviews from wine-critic royalty.
- Their dream was always to return to their roots, making English wine in Blighty. Your backing also gave them the confidence to do just that! In 2014 they returned to their roots and planting their first English vineyard near Canterbury.
