Blanc de noirs wines

Blanc de Noirs Champagne stands as a captivating expression of the artistry and complexity within the world of sparkling wines. Unlike its Blanc de Blancs counterpart, which is crafted exclusively from white grapes, Blanc de Noirs is made from black-skinned grapes, typically Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. These grapes are gently pressed, allowing only the clear juice to be used in fermentation, resulting in a wine with a pale color despite its dark-skinned grape origins. This delicate handling preserves the grapes' vibrant fruit flavors while mitigating the extraction of color from the grape skins.

The resulting Blanc de Noirs Champagne showcases a rich tapestry of flavors, marked by the red fruit character inherent to Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Notes of ripe strawberries, cherries, and raspberries dance on the palate, often intertwined with hints of brioche, nuts, and subtle spice from extended aging on the lees. Despite its fruit-forward profile, Blanc de Noirs Champagne maintains a refreshing acidity and fine mousse, offering a harmonious balance between richness and elegance. It serves as a testament to the skill and expertise of Champagne producers, illustrating their ability to craft wines of exceptional depth and finesse from black-skinned grapes.
