Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Blanc de blancs champagne is a style of sparkling wine made exclusively from chardonnay grapes. The name 'blanc de blancs' means 'white from whites', referring to the colour of the chardonnay grapes and the wine they produce.

Blanc de blancs champagne is known for its delicate, refined flavours and aromas, which are characteristic of the chardonnay grape. The wine is usually light in body and has a high level of acidity, which gives it a crisp, refreshing character. It can range in style from dry to sweet, depending on the amount of dosage (sugar) added to the wine after the second fermentation process.

Blanc de blancs champagne is typically aged for a longer period of time than other types of champagne, which can contribute to its complex flavours and aromas.

To serve blanc de blancs champagne, it is best served in a flute glass and chill the wine to a temperature of around 7-8°C. It pairs well with a wide range of foods, including seafood, sushi, and light cheeses.
