Odd as it may sound, Domaine Chandon is a Pinot Noir house. For more than a quarter of a century, their Brut, Blanc de Noirs and Reserve have been based upon Pinot Noir and its cousin Pinot Meunier. In an effort to showcase these noble red varietals, they created a unique and distinctive style of Blanc de Noirs in 1974. Since then, this fruit-driven, full-flavored sparkling wine, featuring Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, has become one of their most popular wines. It’s forward and generous with intense ripe Pinot Noir fruit and lush complex flavors.

A full dose of creamy yeast backed up by light, directly cherryish notes and by hints of burnt paper and baked brioche brands this wine as the real thing.
