Blanc de Noir

French for ‘white of blacks’, Blanc de Noir describes a white wine made from dark-skinned grapes – Pinot Noir or Meunier – by pressing them very gently and running the pale juice off the skins as early as possible. Blanc de Noirs are a particular speciality of the Aube as Pinot Noir and Meunier dominate plantings. However, many of the best examples can be found in the Montagne de Reims and Ay in the Vallée de la Marne.

Based in Bouzy, André Clouet is a Blanc de Noirs specialist; the Grande Reserve Brut NV is 100% Pinot Noir and is seriously good. Want to go one better? It’s also available as a Magnum.

From Ambonnay, Benoît Maruget is producing awesome Pinot Noir wines.

Françis Egly of Egly Ouriet produces a varietal Pinot Noir in addition to a Meunier Blanc de Noir. From the village of Ambonnay, Egly-Ouriet’s Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs Vielles Vigne is one of the finest examples of the style and will take you to a happy place.

André Clouet Silver Brut Nature NV

Pinot Noir | Champagne, Ambonnay

Zero dosage wines have nowhere to hide! They simply must stand on their own two feet! The depth of fruit flows full length of your tongue finding it's way through juicy mineral acid of great length. The incredible purity of the wine is strikes instantly. As it warms a little the expression of Pinot comes through and you realise just how necessary the acid is in order to tame the rich fruit. Available in Magnum!

André Clouet V6 Experience NV

Pinot Noir | Champagne, Bouzy

This is very, very clever winemaking! This is very, very clever winemaking. Typically blended from a couple of strong vintages separated by a few year with a good slug of reserve wine builds richness and mid-palate weight. The cleverest play comes with the second fermentation and disgorgement: the seal used for the bottle during second fermentation allows a tiny amount of oxygen in each year. This promotes character development, harmonising the blend and layering in new elements. The bea

Champagne Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy Empreinte Brut Nature 2014

Pinot Noir | Vallée de la Marne, Champagne

So many wines are missing the high and low notes from their repetoire. Here you get the full spectrum from perfume to earthy secondary characters! Excellent poise length and balance here. Epic tension with super fine acid and mousse. Delicacy with power. Extremely sophisticated. The build in flavour after you swallow is exceptional, a little baking spice. Strawb, Rhubarb, fine line of phenolics. Layered, complex, superb. Lively & vital with wonderful harmony. So many wines are missing the hi

Benoît Lahaye Blanc de Noir Base 18 NV

Pinot Noir | Montagne de Reims, Bouzy

After drinking a bottle of his 2012 I literally had no choice but to get more of Benoît’s wines in! The Lahaye hallmarks are all here. Pinot shines through with red fruit of excellent length & depth. Beautifully developed with what appears to be the typical energy and superb balance of the house. Lahaye clearly has great touch in both vineyard and winery. 100% Pinot Noir from Bouzy (“Les Vaux Bétins” and “Les Hannepés” plots with deep soils) and Tauxières, in an area call

André Clouet Cuvee 1911

Fermented in Sauternes barrels, this baby has an extra dimension of pleasure woven in! 100% pinot noir from Clouet's 10 best plots, dubbed by Jean-Francois 'the golden square of Bouzy' 50% fermented in Sauternes barriques from Doisy-Daëne, 50% solera of reserve wines; full malolactic fermentation, a symbolic production of just 1911 bottles.

Champagne Benoît Marguet Bouzy Brut Zero Grand Cru 2015

Pinot Noir | France, Bouzy

The release of the 2015 saw the Bouzy shift from a Pinot/Chardonnay blend to a 100% Pinot. The 2015 Bouzy Grand Cru is vinous and demonstrative, and more giving than its 2014 predecessor, bursting with aromas of sweet plums, peaches, white flowers, red berries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with bright acids and a precise, saline finish, it has turned out very nicely. William Kelley

Champagne Benoît Marguet Amobonnay ‘Le Grand Ruelle’ Blanc de Noir Grand Cru 2012

Pinot Noir | France, Ambonnay

The 2012 vintage is the second to be bottled from la Grande Ruelle by Benoît Marguet and it is outstanding. This is composed entirely of pinot noir and was finished non-dosé and disgorged in September of 2017. The wine is beautiful on both the nose and palate, with the bouquet offering up scents of white peach, patissière, a touch of tangerine, complex soil tones, a touch of hazelnut and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and plenty deep at the core, with fine soi

Champagne Benoît Marguet Amobonnay ‘Le Grand Ruelle’ Blanc de Noir Grand Cru 2015

Pinot Noir | France, Ambonnay

Disgorged in April 2020, the 2015 La Grande Ruelle Grand Cru is lovely, mingling scents of pear and orange oil with hints of honeyed toast. Medium to full-bodied, layered and muscular, it's a concentrated, chiseled wine from vines planted in 1967 on alluvial soils. William Kelley
