Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of salted biscuit dough, Saltine crackers, green apple and lemon zest, and Cremini mushroom with a satiny, lively, effervescent, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-long finish with overtones of green apple, lemon zest and lemon curd on a biscuit, sea spray, and white flowers. A clean, crisp, and refreshing category benchmark; a truly classic Blanc de Blanc with salinity and brioche layered over green apple and citrus flavors with a hint of white flowers.

Champagne Blanc de Blancs

Blanc de Blancs, literally "white from white" refers to a Champagne that is made with only white grapes. For Champagne that white grape is exclusively Chardonnay. Blanc de Blancs also pair beautifully with many types of seafood, from grouper to tilapia.

As Chardonnay grown in the Champagne region has such naturally high acidity, the common thinking is that a Blanc de Blancs Champagne ages better than most other Champagnes, although its aging potential depends on numerous factors, including vine age, depth of fruit and cellar practices.
