Blanc de Blancs champagnes
Cuvées full of finesse
In Champagne, there are 3 main grape varieties, 1 white, Chardonnay, and 2 blacks, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The Champagne winemaking technique allows to obtain a white wine from white grape varieties or black grape varieties. However, if the producer uses only white grape varieties, then we can speak of Blanc de Blancs champagne. And conversely, we will speak of Blanc de Noirs champagne when only black grape varieties are used.
A delicate aromatic palette
There are many nuances in the family of Blanc de Blancs champagnes. These are generally cuvées that offer a lot of finesse and delicacy. On the nose, one discovers notes of white flowers, a touch of white fruits, and in a second time, pastry or sweet spice notes (vanilla).
In the mouth, these are champagnes with a very delicate texture. In the mid-palate, one discovers their freshness and minerality. One finds notes of white fruits, chalk, and sometimes even more gourmet nuances.
An infinity of terroirs
Blanc de Blancs champagnes are produced almost everywhere in Champagne, but the most reputed area for its Blanc de Blancs champagnes is the Côte des Blancs, near Epernay. But the singularity of a terroir offers very different Blanc de Blancs. They will be more expressive and ample along the Marne Valley, and more tense in Mesnil sur Oger, while in the Aube, the Kimmeridgian soils will give very mineral cuvées.
Gastronomic champagnes?
Blanc de Blancs champagnes are mainly aperitif cuvées. Their freshness and tension make them the perfect wine to open the palate before a meal. However, one can imagine interesting pairings with certain dishes, such as seafood, fish or cheese.
Learn more about Blanc de Blancs champagne
A Blanc de Blancs Champagne is a sparkling wine from the Champagne region made exclusively from white grapes (mainly Chardonnay).
In Champagne, the Chardonnay grape variety dominates Blanc de Blancs wines. Less frequently used white grape varieties include Pinot Blanc, Petit Meslier, and Arbane.
Blanc de Blancs is distinguished by its marked freshness, aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, sometimes white-fleshed fruits, and a minerality ("flint," spark stone) associated with certain Champagne terroirs.
It pairs very well with seafood (oysters, scallops), fish, and light dishes. It is particularly well suited as an aperitif.
Thanks to its high acidity and fine structure, a quality Blanc de Blancs can age well. With age, it develops secondary aromas such as brioche, hazelnut, and almond.
Blanc de Blancs is produced exclusively from white grapes. Blanc de Noirs is made from black grapes (e.g., Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier) but is vinified as a white wine. The aromatic and structural profiles differ: finesse and minerality vs. roundness and fruitiness.
