BOLD FRUITINESS WITH SPICY COMPLEXITY
Robust but charming, Chandon Blanc de Pinot Noir shows the intense richness and structure of California Pinot Noir complemented by the softness of Meunier.
Grapes for Blanc de Pinot Noir are sourced from multiple cool-climate appellations, ensuring complexity and consistency in this classically powerful style. A minimum of 12 months ageing imparts a smooth spiciness to match its intense fruitiness.

MÉTHODE TRADITIONNELLE
Grapes are harvested at night to keep the fruit cool and preserve freshness. Harvest begins in early August to retain acidity and capture Chandon’s signature vibrancy.
State-of-the-art presses lower pressing times, limiting the juice’s contact with the grape skins to avoid bitterness. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.
Assemblage occurs in the winter, at the end of the fermentation process, which involves blending multiple vintages of base wines for a complex, consistent style.
The second fermentation then occurs in the bottle and the ageing process begins, where the wine will spend a minimum of 12 months on the yeast lees.
Bottles are then riddled and disgorged. A small amount of dosage liqueur is added, and a cork seals thebottle. After a minimum of 3 months bottle age the wine is ready!
