COMPOSITION:
Pinot Noir 95%
Pinot Meunier 5%
VINIFICATION:
Chateau Frank Blanc de Noirs was produced exclusively from the red-skinned Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, grown in our own Finger Lakes vineyards. These grapes were hand-picked, then gently and slowly pressed whole cluster so as to extract their superb fruit flavors without any of their color. After estate tirage the bottles were aged “sur lies” in underground cellars for more than six years before being riddled and disgorged.
DESCRIPTION:
This is a rich and complex sparkling wine with great structure and length. With aromas of pear, apple, peach, vanilla and hazelnut that combine with the toasty yeast character, persistent foam and tiny bubbles, this style creates a full-bodied sparkling wine which makes for a perfect accompaniment to a fine meal.
