Gremillet Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne Non-vintage 750ml
DescriptionGremillet's Blanc de Noirs showcases the power and elegance of Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar, where this noble grape variety reaches exceptional expression. Made exclusively from black grapes vinified as white wine, this champagne offers a fascinating study in how terroir and technique can transform Pinot Noir into something ethereal. The southern location of Gremillet's vineyards provides riper fruit character while maintaining the freshness essential to great champagne. The result is a wine of unusual depth and complexity that challenges preconceptions about Blanc de Noirs.
The color hints at the wine's composition - a pale gold with subtle copper reflections that catch the light beautifully. The nose is generous and inviting, with notes of red apple, white cherry, and subtle hints of red berries that reveal the Pinot Noir origin. On the palate, this Blanc de Noirs demonstrates remarkable balance between power and elegance. Rich flavors of baked apple, pear, and a touch of quince are supported by a creamy texture and fine, persistent mousse. Yet there's freshness here too, with citrus notes and a mineral backbone that provides structure. The finish is long and satisfying, with hints of almond and spice that add complexity. This is Blanc de Noirs that offers both immediate pleasure and food-pairing versatility, perfect for those who appreciate champagne with character.
