Only Premier Cru and Grand Cru sites are selected for the 2016 Champagne Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut. The nose has a very pure perfume of raspberry, red plum, and crushed roses, and it is fleshy on the palate, with a fine mousse and notes of wild strawberry, blood orange, and almond. The house excels at this style, and this example is no exception with its ripeness and purity. Drink 2024-2044. ... More details

As is proper for Blanc de Noirs, the Champagne has a textured edge that comes from the fruit tannins. It also has some really fine white fruits, and the crispest acidity—both promising a long-term future. Drink from 2026.

Rated 93 by Wine Advocate

Disgorged in April 2022, the 2016 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs is a very classy wine, delivering aromas of red apples, pear, honeycomb and nectarine, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered palate that's broad, textural and vinous. A serious, gastronomic Champagne, it will work well at table.

Rated 93 by Wine Spectator

Firm and minerally, with a lacy texture, this structured version deftly integrates baked plum, smoked almond, preserved lemon, anise and chalk. Creamy finish. Disgorged April 2022. Drink now through 2029. 3,300 cases made, 200 cases imported.

Rated 92 by James Suckling

Bread dough, pastries, apricots, sesame, grapefruit and cherry stones on the nose, leading to a round, creamy palate. Soft bubbles. Flavorful and lengthy finish. 100% pinot noir. Disgorged in April 2022. Dosage 4.5g/L. Drink or hold.

Overview

Varietal: Champagne Blend

Whilst Champagne sparkling wines are most commonly made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape varietals, there are actually seven fine grape varietals allowed by French wine law for inclusion in the wines of this region. These include Arbanne, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and and Petit Meslier alongside the others, although these four are being used less and less in the modern age. Champagnes are normally blended wines, although the popularity of single variety 'blanc de blanc' Champagnes made solely with Chardonnay grapes, and 'blanc de noir' wines made only with Pinot Noir varietal grapes are becoming more and more popular. The blending process found in most Champagnes aims to take the finest points of each grape varietal and bring them together to produce spectacular, strong yet balanced results in the bottle.

Region: Champagne

The beautiful north-easterly region of Champagne in France is famous around the world for the production of the exquisite sparkling white wines which characterize the region. All over the globe, bottles of wine from Champagne are celebrated and enjoyed, and their fame has come about through generations of expertise and experimentation, and a dedication to quality which raises the bar for producers of sparkling wines everywhere. The vast majority of grapes grown in this special region are of the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Petit Meunier varietals, the principle grapes used for the production of Champagne sparkling white wines. The region itself is far cooler than many other important French wine regions, but this hasn't stopped the dozens of wineries in Champagne from making their distinctive and much-loved produce.

Country: France

French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.
