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.

A counterpoint to the Blanc d'Argile Blanc de Blanc. Fidèle demonstrates Gautherot's skills with both colours. 100% Pinot and disgorged with zero dosage, the quality of fruit laps up the acid with a lingering thirst-quenching finish. Red, sherbety fruit is complimented with a subtle savoury layer, and seamless complexing influences from the base wine's time on lees in old wood and that splash of reserve wine. A delicious drink!

Pinot Noir | Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, France

“This is our foundation-wine as so many things started with this parcel. First of all, because it’s one of Champagne’s oldest massal selections. Afterwards and most especially because it gave me the idea for my Méthode Fabrice Pouillon used to make all my wines.”
