Blanc de Noirs Champagnes

Blanc de Noirs (meaning white wine from red grapes) are blended solely from red grapes: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, or a mixture of both. They can be non-vintage, vintage or prestige cuvée champagnes. Although the colour is somewhat controlled by quickly removing the skins from the juice after the grapes have been pressed, Blanc de Noirs are still seldom completely clear or white. Great bottles of Blanc de Noirs can be difficult to find - a good example is Krug Clos d'Ambonnay.
