«A white from white grapes», Blanc de Blancs have been produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes since 1980 and are not only rarer, but usually also somewhat more expensive. Famous growing areas for this grape variety are Cramant, Mesnil and Avize.
Young Blanc de Blancs champagnes are excellent for ageing and develop from a sometimes greenish colour and a floral bouquet into mature champagnes with a golden colour and a bouquet of notes of bread and biscuit.
