Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of canned peaches, cottage cheese, white strawberry tops, and jasmine tea with a velvety, lively, effervescent, bone-dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish with notes of norman pear cidre, orange rind, under ripe melon, and green apple skins. A pleasingly lean sparkler with some nice characteristics of Pinot Noir shining through.

About
Blanc de Noirs
Blanc de Noirs is a term used for sparkling wine that means "white from red." In Champagne, a Blanc de Noirs is made from red grapes exclusively (Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier); there is no skin contact, so a Blanc de Noirs Champagne has just a trace or blush of color.

Blanc de Noirs for other sparkling wines, such as those produced in California, must contain red grapes, but white grapes are allowed. These wines do have some copper or salmon color to them.

As a Blanc de Noirs will contain all or some red varieties in the finished cuvée, these can be paired with main courses, especially duck, game birds or veal.

William Heritage 2019 Reserve Blanc De Noirs, Outer Coastal Plain rating was calculated by to be 88 points out of 100 on 10/11/2023. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
