Gruet Winery Blanc De Noirs Methode Champenoise Pinot Noir

Founded in 1984 Gruet Winery specializes in Methode Champenoise sparkling wines. Family owned and run the New Mexico-based winery produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay-based sparkling wines and a small collection of still wines with roots originating from Gilbert Gruet’s Champagne house in Bethon France. Winemaking French for white og black Blanc de Noirs describes a sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir grapes that are gently pressed and its juice runs off the skins. Our Blanc de noirs NV was first released in 1990. Following the success of our Brut release we wanted to add a non vintage wine using Pinot Noir similar to the classic blends of NV chmpagnes. Tasting Notes Pale salmon in color this full-bodied wine had a fine mousse and a creamy rich texture. Complex aromas and flavors of raspberry baked pear and cherry are complemented by a hint of toasted vanilla. The balance of fruit minerals and crisp acidity lead to a round mouthfeel and lasting finish. – Gruet Winery
