“My special wines usually had ‘Blanc de blanc’ means white from white, usually Chardonnay. Tempted the to dark side, i tried blanc de noir, orwhite from black. The noir bit in this case is Pinot and it’s a friendly addition. It gives the champagne a little more fleshiness while maintaining its exuberance. Many factors determine the final result, but biodynamic principles and Pinot didn’t hurt at all. My new go to anniversary drink. But I’m not waiting 12 mths before opening another.”
