Yellow straw color. Aromas of lime skittles, canned pineapple, green apple candies, wet wool, and juicy fruit with a light body and a short green candies, dried white flowers, grapefruit, and juicy fruit gum finish. This sparkler shows more on the palate than on the nose with a tropical fruit finish.

Blanc de Blancs

Blanc de Blancs, literally "white from white" refers to a Champagne or other sparkling wine that is made with only white grapes. For Champagne that white grape is exclusively Chardonnay. Blanc de Blancs also pair beautifully with many types of seafood, from grouper to tilapia.

As Chardonnay grown in the Champagne region has such naturally high acidity, the common thinking is that a Blanc de Blancs Champagne ages better than most other Champagnes, although its aging potential depends on numerous factors, including vine age, depth of fruit and cellar practices.

The term Blanc de Blancs is also used for other sparkling wines; the meaning is the same - only white varieties are allowed.
