Andre Delorme Cremant de Bourgogne Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs des Fleurs NV 750ml

Our Terroirs des Fleurs cuvée refers to white flowers: hawthorn, acacia and honeysuckle. This is a Blanc de Blancs made from grapes grown on parcels producing wines with predominantly floral aromas (characteristic of Mâconnais wines). Made exclusively from Chardonay and Aligoté grapes, its fine, elegant aroma is characteristic of the Delorme style. The colourful bands on its pearly label reflect its luminous personality.

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn’t unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as ‘blanc de blanc’, meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or ‘blanc de noir’, which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
