Blanc de Blanc-2017
Our 2017 Blanc de Blanc has rested patiently in tirage for over six years, and we are thrilled to be able to share it now. The 2017 Blanc De Blanc is a classic example of Finger Lakes sparkling wine. The nose shows an elegant balance of brioche yeasty-ness and green apple, while on the palate, the bubbles are fine-grained and lively. A moderate dosage of 8 g/L balances the acidity, lending the wine a luscious texture.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This sparkling wine has filled into tirage for the secondary fermentation during the summer of 2016, producing a profusion of tiny bubbles that explode to the surface upon opening the bottle. A moderate dosage of 1.2% provides a clean, crisp balance on the palate. The blend is 100% Chardonnay and the moderate dosage adds luscious creaminess.
