standout English négociant

about We may think of English sparkling wine being inspired by nearby Champagne, but Digby founders Trevor Clough and Jason Howard were motivated to start making wine by trips to Napa Valley and Washington State. Learning from producers who had to build a sparkling wine brand from scratch, they returned to England to start a négociant style winery—buying grapes to blend into world-class wine.

Brut NV ($45)

This vibrant wine is a characteristic blend of the three main Champagne grapes. The fruit is sourced from four counties across the south of England, mainly Kent and Dorset (which has the same soil types as Chablis) with a little more coming from Sussex and Hampshire. The wine spends at least two years on the lees before release.
