Vinification of the Blanc de Noir from Weingut Metzger

1. The vineyards for the Blanc de Noir from Weingut Metzger thrive in optimal sites in the Champagne region, which is known for its cooling winds and mineral-rich soils. The vines of successful Pinot Noir plantings display a balanced ratio of grape skins to juice, forming the basis for the wine’s elegant freshness and dedication to quality. Careful work in the vineyard includes gentle harvesting, with the grapes picked by hand to preserve freshness and ripeness in the best possible way.

2. After the harvest, the grapes are selectively sorted so that only the best fruit reaches the cellar. The grapes are gently pressed to obtain clear musts with delicate aromas. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and aromatic potential of the grapes. Maturation on the lees in the bottle (Méthode Traditionnelle) lends the wine its lively bubbles. During this aging period, fine roasted aromas and complex mineral notes develop, giving the sparkling wine its distinctive character.

3. The maturation is carried out with great care, with the wine remaining on the lees for at least 12 months. The result is a Blanc de Noir with clear, vibrant fruit and a pleasant creaminess. Careful bottle aging and precise bottle fermentation ensure a harmonious balance between fruit, acidity, and perlage. In this way, the wine develops a persistent, elegant sparkle that makes the noble aromas appear even more intense. The processing reflects expert craftsmanship and a lasting passion for quality, resulting in a sparkling wine that impresses with both elegance and liveliness.
