British Champagne

"There are (French) Champagne producers who have bought land in Sussex and Kent," in southern England, he told the newspaper El Periodico.


For some reason, that just sounds oh-so-wrong.

Hehe - it's excellent soil in the south of England. Cretaceous clay and chalk. I can't remember what the underlying rock in Champagne itself is like, but I shouldn't think it's that dissimilar. We've actually had chardonnay for a few years too.

Personally, I prefer the Palaeozoic rocks - good for nothing but beer!
