Sparkling Blanc de Noirs

Blanc de Noirs—literally “white from blacks”—is a sparkling wine made exclusively from dark-skinned grapes, typically Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Though the grapes are red, the juice is pressed gently with minimal skin contact, resulting in a pale golden wine that carries the depth of its darker origins.

In the glass, Blanc de Noirs is often richer and more powerful than Blanc de Blancs, with flavours of ripe red berries, baked apple, plum, and cherry, layered with hints of brioche, spice, and nuts from lees ageing. It tends to have a rounder texture, fuller body, and complex intensity, while still retaining crisp acidity and fine bubbles.

For UK drinkers, Sparkling Blanc de Noirs is a bold yet elegant choice. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, game birds, charcuterie, mature cheeses, and mushroom dishes, making it as food-friendly as it is celebratory. Structured, flavoursome, and indulgent, it’s sparkling with real personality.
