2021 Charles Heintz Vineyard Blanc de noirs

The 2021 Charles Heintz Vineyard Blanc de Noirs (Ultramarine) harnesses Pinot Noir from this fog‑cooled coastal site into a textural, red‑fruited sparkling. Aromas of white cherry, wild strawberry and blood orange are layered with pastry cream, brioche and a subtle savoury note. The palate is broader and more vinous than the Blanc de Blancs, with creamy mousse, a core of ripe red berries and citrus, and a gentle phenolic grip adding structure. Bright acidity and coastal minerality keep it lifted, making it ideal with roast chicken, richer seafood and charcuterie.
