Description
Our Blanc de Noirs is predominantly made from hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes, the hallmarks of which are a vibrant red fruit character. The creamy palate and rosy hue are a result of a small addition of Vin Gris, which was blended into the base cuvée. Over forty different clones and selections of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are planted on our 340-acre estate in the Sonoma Carneros district. This allows us to consistently produce cuvées with complexity and clear fruit expression.
92% Pinot Noir, 8% Chardonnay
Whole cluster pressed to avoid bitter compounds. Juice is naturally settled overnight (debourbage) to encourage a clean fermentation • Proprietary yeast used for secondary fermentation provides a delicate house signature. Cuvee is a blend of 18 different base wines fermented in stainless steel tanks 55F to 60F. 5% to 7% cold-soaked Pinot Noir juice (Vin Gris) is blended into the base wine for color and to establish the creamy notes in the finish. Wine spent a year and a-half en tirage (on the yeast)
