A truly distinctive white wine made from black Grenache grapes with minimal skin contact during pressing. Blanc de Noir, meaning ‘white from black’, leans toward white peach, and pink grapefruit flavours with subtle spice. Herbaceous notes, soft echoes of red apple and strawberry, and crisp acidity finish out this showpiece.

Pork rillettes or cretons
Lobster risotto
Grilled peach with mascarpone and honey

Grenache, or Garnacha as it is called in Spain, is one of the most widely grown wine grapes in the world. In France it is mostly grown around the Rhône Valley, and in Chateauneuf-du-Pape typically over 80 % of the grapes grown are Grenache. It ripens late and needs rather warm circumstances. It is generally spicy with peppery notes and hints of rapberries and strawberries.
Languedoc, or Languedoc - Roussillon, is the world's largest wine district, and it accounts for about a third of France's wine production. It is located in the south of France, along the western part of the Mediterranean coast, from the Pyrenees on the Spanish border in the west to the river Rhône in the east. White, rosé and red wine are made from many different grape varieties, internationally famous varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, as well as Rhône grapes such as Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Viognier. More local varieties such as Rousanne and Marsanne are also grown.
