Tasting Notes
Our 2018 Blanc de Blancs is made of 100% Grenache Blanc and produced using Method traditional which is the style of production to make Champagne. Aromatic and expressive our Blanc de Blancs draws you in with notes of white peach, Asian pear, honeysuckle, and a hint of brioche. The palate is crisp and refreshing with notes of yellow apple, beeswax, and a long finish with stony minerality.

Production Notes
The first half of 2018 brought us moderate temperatures, allowing for a long growing season. We had a majority of our rainfall in February, followed by a wet spring. Then, summer brought consistent temperatures with little heat spikes. This weather allowed for longer hang time and for the fruit to ripen at a balanced rate.
Vineyard Notes
