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 2020 vintage, we made a blend of 100% Chardonnay. 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. Four years aging on the yeast brings a wonderful complexity to the wine, and the small dosage added after disgorging balances the wine’s bright acidity.

Profile
This wine has the classic Chardonnay profile of lemon and green apple with a lovely, toasted bread contribution from the yeast. On the palate, the frothy mousse and bright, lemony acidity lead into a long, toasty finish dominated by apple notes.
