Balfour Blanc de Noirs 2022

Vibrant • Tension • Complexity

Blanc de Noirs is the slightly nerdy cousin of your classic fizz: white sparkling wine made from black grapes. Mostly Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, pressed gently to keep the juice pale, it delivers richness and depth without ever feeling heavy. Expect red-fruit hints, tangerine, brioche, and enough structure to make you sit up and pay attention—elegant, quietly sophisticated, and delightfully geeky.

Balfour Blanc de Noir is a lovely tipple. Dry, light, clean, with a faint hint of peach. It’s very drinkable. Maria Hodson BBC

The Story

This is English sparkling with a touch of intrigue. Crafted without skin contact and malolactic fermentation, Blanc de Noirs preserves a bright, zesty backbone that lifts the palate and showcases Kent’s vineyards at their very best. Notes of red apple, blackcurrant, tangerine, and a whisper of oyster shell dance across the mouth, all held together by a fine, persistent bead. Small-batch disgorgement ensures precision and personality in every bottle, creating a wine that’s both opulent and elegantly balanced. Blanc de Noirs rewards curiosity—perfect for sipping now or cellaring to watch its depth unfold—and proves that English sparkling can be as intellectually satisfying as it is delicious.
