Blanc de Blancs

"Blanc de Blancs" refers to sparkling wine made only from white grapes. This method is known as one of the methods used to make French Champagne, and this name is used in countries around the world following that method.

In Champagne,

  • Chardonnay (white grape)
  • Pinot Noir (black grapes)
  • Pinot Meunier (black grapes)

It is generally made by blending these three grape varieties, but it can also be made by limiting the grape varieties, such as 100% white grapes or 100% black grapes.

Wine made only from white grapes is called "Blanc de Blancs" , and wine made only from black grapes is called "Blanc de Noirs" .

"Blanc" means "white" in French. Blanc de Blancs means "white wine made from white grapes." By the way, Blanc is often written as "Blanc" in the Roman alphabet, but in French it is pronounced closer to "Bron."

Blanc de Blancs Champagne is made from 100% Chardonnay and has a clean, dry taste with citrus aromas and beautiful, crisp acidity.
