A blend of 92% Pinot Noir and 8% Chardonnay.
Our Blanc de Noirs is predominantly made from handharvested Pinot Noir grapes, the hallmarks of which are a vibrant red fruit character. Over 21 different clones of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are planted on our Carneros estate. This allows us to consistently produce top-rated cuvées with complexity and clear fruit expression.
José Ferrer championed his family’s dream of producing exceptional traditional method sparkling wine in the New World. In the 1980s, he ventured from Barcelona, Spain to Sonoma, California with his wife Gloria in search of the ultimate region to make sparkling wine. They settled upon Carneros…
For the Ferrers, whose Spanish sparkling winegrowing experience goes back generations, the potential of Los Carneros was unmistakable, even before it became an established AVA. They recognized the ideal climate for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — and thus the perfect terroir for brilliant sparkling wines.
Warm days, cool nights, predictable winds, summer fog, and a long growing season coax grapes to maturity slowly and consistently with a desirable balance of sugar and acidity. They immediately began planting the estate, three quarters with Pinot Noir vines and one quarter with Chardonnay vines.
A mouthfilling mousse and generous white cherry and peach flavors give this smooth wine an easygoing, fruity character that will please a lot of people. A slight tinge of pink in the color hints at the Pinot Noir grapes from which it was made. Jim Gordon, 10/1/2023.
