Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of parmesan cheese, unripe peach, and sour pear with a satiny, crisp, effervescent, bone-dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish that exhibits nuances of green pear, mild swiss cheese, wilting white flowers, and green apple and apricot. A lovely sparkling wine to pair with a cheese board and a picnic in a sprawling garden.

About

Blanc de Blancs

Blanc de Blancs, literally "white from white" refers to a Champagne or other sparkling wine 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.

The term Blanc de Blancs is also used for other sparkling wines; the meaning is the same - only white varieties are allowed.
