Fit to be served in the White House: Chandon Blanc de Noirs is the bubbly served at all White House receptions.
PHILOSOPHY
As a pioneer of this unique sparkling style since 1974, we showcase the traditional red varieties in this wine. Fruit-driven and full-flavored, this sparkling wine featuring Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier has become one of our most popular wines. The fruit for Blanc de Noirs is blended to highlight the complexity of vibrant California fruit. We source from only the coolest climates with the longest growing seasons throughout California to craft this wine.
TASTING NOTES
Chandon Blanc de Noirs is characteristically a delicate salmon color. Dark cherry, currant and strawberry dominate both aroma and flavor with hints of cassis and blackberry. These red fruit flavors build in the mid-palate and finish with a soft, lingering, creamy texture.
WINE AND FOOD PAIRING
Winemaker Tom Tiburzi suggests you try this versatile wine with everything from fruity to spicy to salty foods including Southwestern, Latin American, Mexican and Asian cuisine. Also pair this mostly Pinot Noir sparkler with the foods you would chose to eat with a varietal Pinot Noir such as roasted beets, mushrooms and salmon.
Winemaker: Tom Tiburzi
Appellation: California
Aging Profile: Minimum of 12 months on the yeast
