Blanc de Noirs (“white from blacks” in French) is a white sparkling wine made exclusively from black-skinned grapes, most commonly Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
It is produced by pressing red grapes very gently and immediately separating the juice from the skins, so the juice remains clear and doesn’t take on red pigment.
“Crisp, taut, expertly-made sparkling wine. Palate cleansing dry fruit. Apple and green gage, trailed by a suggestion of savoury biscuit and appetising saline tang left on the palate” Oz Clarke & Tom Surgey 2026.
