Amongst friends
Domaine Evremond is the realisation of a shared dream between lifelong friends Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and Patrick McGrath to craft exceptional English Sparkling Wine of the highest quality.
Taittinger & Hatch Mansfield
Champagne Taittinger and partner Hatch Mansfield have worked together for over 25 years, establishing Taittinger as a leading Champagne in the UK.
In 2015, founders and friends Pierre Emmanuel Taittinger and Patrick McGrath located the perfect site for their collaboration. So began our journey to make a top-quality English Sparkling Wine that reflects the family-focused philosophies of both companies.
“The Domaine Evremond story is a story about friendship: between the UK and France; between Reims and Canterbury and between myself and Patrick.
Our family has always had a great affection for the UK and for Kent - my father, Jean Taittinger twinned Canterbury with Reims when he was mayor of the latter in the 1950s.
We believe the combination of chalk soils, climate and topography of our site in Kent are ideal for producing quality sparkling wine and are very similar to the terroir in Champagne.
We are proud to be the first Champagne house to plant vineyards to grow wines in the UK in collaboration with our dear friends.

Our family
Besides his role as CEO of Hatch Mansfield, Patrick has been fundamental in establishing Domaine Evremond and overseeing its journey from the beginning: sourcing suitable land, planting the estate and building the winery and visitor centre.
Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger is a tireless traveller. He is curious about everything and everyone, always enthusiastic about the world around him. Naturally, it is in France where this staunchly patriotic businessman particularly loves to explore and make a difference to the lives of those around him.
The president of both Domaine Evremond and Champagne Taittinger, Vitalie brings her artistic direction to Domaine Evremond, ensuring her family's values and dreams are embodied throughout.
Travelling between Champagne and Kent, Christelle brings her wealth of vineyard knowledge to Domaine Evremond, working closely with the UK team to grow top quality fruit in a suitable manner and overseeing each harvest.

Domaine Evremond purchased Stone Stile Farm from the Gaskain family in 2015 as the first step in establishing Domaine Evremond. Gaskains Ltd is a highly experienced, multi-generational UK fruit farm that is also one of the UKs largest apple growers. Mark Gaskain (Managing Director of Gaskains Ltd) and Jason Streatfield (Farm & Vineyard Manager) are responsible for the day to day growing operations in the vineyards and work passionately alongside the Taittinger team, sharing their knowledge of horticulture as well as the local land and climate to ensure that together they deliver first class fruit to the winery every year.
Domaine Evremond is part of ‘The Wine Garden of England’. A group of industry pioneers who represent the diversity of top quality wineries in Kent. The nine wineries are collectively committed to creating a world-class wine trail and visitor experience in Kent.
