French for "white of black", Blanc de Noirs describes a sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir grapes, by pressing them gently and running the pale juice off the skins. First released in 1990. With the success of our Brut release, we wanted to add a non vintage wine similar to the classic blends of NV Champagnes, Pinot Noir dominated. | |

Wine Makers Notes Pale Salmon in color, our Blanc de Noirs has aromas of berry and pear, complimented by a rich, round mouth feel on the palate. It fi nishes with a layer of cream and pleasant, warm toastiness. Incredibly versatile with all styles of food! |
