Sutter Home Pinot Noir offers a fresh take on Burgundy’s most celebrated varietal. To preserve the wine’s pretty violet aromas and delicate, bright flavors, winemakers cold-ferment the juice in stainless steel tanks, and briefly age the wine in French and American oak to impart a silky-smooth texture and light body.

This Champagne is crafted from the finest pinot noir grapes selected from only grand cru classified villages. It draws most of its character from the delicate, natural spice of the crus from northern Montagne de Reims (Verzy and Verzenay) and the well balanced structure of those from southern Montagne de Reims, from Bouzy, Aÿ and Ambonnay. The 2008 Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs is a precise Champagne, and a great companion to food, notably delicate, stripped-back dishes.

Red cherry with crimson hues. Bright aromatic intensity with notes of ripe red cherry, plum, sage and thyme. A pure varietal expression on the palate with the medium weight red fruit balanced with acidity and fine tannins that have a delicious dry finish.

Handpicked from the higher terrace of the vineyard and fermented with indigenous yeast producing a wine with a silky layered texture providing interest and complexity.

With a distinctive balance with bright cherry notes and hints of red berries, it is big, bold, and complex. GRAPES: 100% Pinot Noir. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Grilled or roasted red meats, poultry, flavorful vegetarian entrees, risottos. Enjoy with fish such as salmon, tuna and swordfish.

Soft and fresh on the palate, as we come to expect, knowing the Valley’s climate and terroir. The acidity expresses itself in mouth-watering, tart red fruit. The tannins are present enough to give the wine structure without distracting from the flavour. Delicious flavours of raspberry tea and red cherry are balanced with a bit of minerality. It’s not too fruity and not too earthy, perfectly balanced and delicious!
