Blanc de Noirs

Golden bubbles frame a sparkling wine crafted from 100% Pinot Noir. Aromas of Italian meringue, graham cracker, golden apple and yellow kiwi lead to a fruit-driven palate of sweet honeysuckle, golden raspberries and grapefruit zest. Creamy and structured, with fresh acidity, this Blanc de Noirs delivers a robust yet elegant finish.

The Vineyard

Named in honor of our Founder Jim Bernau, Bernau Estate Vineyard is located in the Dundee Hills and is home to our méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine facility, which opened in 2022. The vines at Bernau Estate Vineyard are farmed using Biodynamic techniques, first certified through Demeter® in December 2023.

Biodynamic farming uses sustainable, holistic practices, including composting and the use of special preparations, to holistically promote the soil’s long-term health. It involves managing a farm utilizing the principles of a living organism and is minimally dependent on outside materials to meet the needs of the land.

The original 15 acres of Pinot Noir were planted in 1994 and in 2019 we added an additional nine acres of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

The vineyard has a very gentle southwest-facing slope and Woodburn, Jory & Nekia soils, which are deep and well-drained.
