Chandon introduces a companion to our well-respected Reserve Brut with this exciting new Blanc de Noirs. Our reserve wines are created in a slightly robust and complex style highlighting the richness achieved with extended yeast aging. Our winemaker starts with hand-select parcels of Pinot Noir that display bolder and more concentrated flavors and then blends these selections with reserve wines from our extensive library of older vintages.

This fuller-bodied wine offers the length and persistence typical of a Blanc de Noirs style, but with even more intensity. This is a true red wine lovers’ sparkling.

Tasting Notes:
Extended aging develops appealing aromas of toasted nuts with layers of plum fruit and delicate cumin spice. Flavors of fresh baked apple pie with hints of cinnamon spice and brioche build to a long and satisfying finish.

Food and Wine Pairing:
Given its full-bodied richness, Winemaker Tom Tiburzi and Chef Chris Manning encourage you to pair this wine with hearty dishes like smoked babyback ribs or honey and soy marinated BBQ chicken. For lighter fare, try Reserve Blanc de Noirs with minced pork in lettuce cups or spicy tuna rolls at your favorite sushi restaurant.
