About This Wine
Blanc de Blancs translates to “white of whites,” meaning we use only white grapes to make this wine. In the case of the 2021 vintage, we made a blend of mainly Chardonnay with a little Pinot Gris. We picked the grapes for this Blanc de Blancs Reserve by hand during the cool morning hours to ensure they arrived at the winery in pristine condition. Individual vineyard lots were fermented separately at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit intensity. Just over four years aging on the yeast brings a wonderful complexity to the wine, and the dosage added after disgorging balances the wine’s bright acidity.

Profile
A classic nose of lemon, green apple and biscuit welcomes you to take a sip. On the palate, the frothy mousse and bright lemon and tangerine notes lead into a toasty mid-palate and a long, zesty finish.
Occasions & Pairings
My favorite way to enjoy this wine is with fresh seafood, but it would also be a great way to bring a little “pop” to your next football party.
