Crémant Blanc de Noirs, harvest and vinification

Blanc de Noirs (white from black) is a white wine from blue grapes. Pinot noir has a thin skin. So there is not much color from that. By pressing very softly you get white juice. And you ferment that like a white wine, without grapes.

Manual harvest in small boxes. The base wine matures for 5 months in oak barrels (1/3 new) of 228l, unfined, unfiltered and without added sulphites. Méthode traditionelle , so 2nd fermentation in the bottle. And another 2 years of maturation in the bottle sur lattes (on the slats). No dosage during disgorging, so this is a Brut nature .

The soil is mainly limestone from the Bajocian (middle Jurassic, 170 million years old) and even older clay from the Triassic. The vines are on average 25 years old. The vineyards are cultivated biodynamically. So without weed killers, chemical fertilizers or synthetic products.

Robert Parker gives this sparkling white wine 93 points.
