Sparkling Blanc de Blancs

Blanc de Blancs—literally “white from whites”—is a sparkling wine style made exclusively from white grapes, most famously Chardonnay. In Champagne, it represents some of the region’s most elegant and refined expressions, though excellent examples are also crafted in England and across the wine world.

In the glass, Blanc de Blancs is typically pale and fine-bubbled, with aromas of green apple, lemon, pear, and white flowers. With age or extended lees contact, it develops greater depth, showing notes of brioche, hazelnut, and cream, while always retaining its hallmark freshness and precision. Its naturally high acidity makes it one of the longest-lived sparkling styles.

For UK drinkers, Sparkling Blanc de Blancs is perfect for celebrations but also shines at the table. It pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, smoked salmon, seafood platters, sushi, soft cheeses, and delicate poultry dishes. Elegant, crisp, and refined, it’s sparkling wine at its most sophisticated.

Launched in 2015, Valentin Leflaive was granted the status of ‘négociant-manipulant’ in 2020 enabling the company to manage the whole production chain including the purchase of grapes. A boutique winery was opened in Oger with a traditional ageing cellar dug deep into the chalk. Chef de Caves Christophe Pitois, who looks after the important relationship with the growers, is assisted by talented enologist Clément Galois. Both are from the Champagne region.

The colour reveals golden yellow reflections and a fine effervescence. The nose is expressive, with notes of ripe fruits such as white peach punctuated by brioche and toasted aromas. The attack is creamy and complex. A beautiful aromatic palate finishes on refreshing lemon and citrus notes.
