Details
Blanc de Blancs translates to "White of the Whites" meaning only white grapes are used in the wine. In the Henri Leblanc Blanc de Blancs, this means 100% Chardonnay, and from its most coveted, iconic and expensive home; Burgundy, France. This classy bottle of bubbles was made from sustainable vineyards and in the traditional Champagne method which means this wine has a lot in common with its Champagne counterparts, produced only 3 hours drive to the north! Biscuity aromas dominate the nose and then melt into a creamy and textured expression on the palate with lively flavours of lemon zest and green apple lingering through the finish. Decadent.

Ah, Burgundy. As arguably one of the finest places in the world for growing delicious Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, its traditions and methods have inspired wineries across the globe. As the latest operation to come out of a centuries-old Burgundy winemaking family, Henri Leblanc’s wines had much to live up to. However, thanks to his tireless efforts, generational expertise, and access to Burgundy’s finest sparkling wine terroirs, his operation has grown to become the region’s largest producer of Cremant de Bourgogne; the peerless bubbly for which Burgundy is famed. That’s not to say that Henri Leblanc is stuck in the past, however. Over the past ten years, he’s shown a commitment to sustainable methods, and an ability to blend modern sparkling wine trends with the age-old methode traditional. The result? Spectacular flavours brought via incredibly flavourful and expressive Burgundy grapes, and a sense of heritage and distinction in every bottle. Salut!

Pairing guide
Like so many Cremant wines, this gorgeous bottle from Henri Leblanc is about as food-friendly as they come. However, as a Blanc de Blancs, there’s just that little extra touch of luxury and fullness in this bottle that makes it worthy of something a little more special, and a little more decadent on your plate. We’re talking shellfish cooked in butter and cream sauces, baked camembert cheese, fresh oysters, lobster thermidor… all of those rich and unctuous foods that really make a statement, and a truly unforgettable wine pairing!
