Blanc de Blancs Sparkling Wine

One grape, from Cap Classique to Comtes de Champagne

Blanc de Blancs means white from whites - sparkling wine made only from Chardonnay, with no Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier in the blend. Ruinart made the style its house signature. Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is the vintage expression; Pommery Apanage and Champagne Autreau Grand Cru sit below it, with Baron Fuenté and EPC at the grower end. Klein Constantia's Cap Classique does the same thing from the Cape rather than from Champagne. Tracked UK delivery, next-day available.

What Blanc de Blancs actually means

Blanc de Blancs translates as white from whites: a sparkling wine made only from white grapes, which in Champagne means Chardonnay on its own. The opposite is Blanc de Noirs, made only from the black grapes. Most Champagne is neither, blending Chardonnay with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Taking the other two out gives a lighter, sharper wine with more citrus and less red-fruit weight. The full Champagne range covers the blended styles alongside these.

The Champagne houses making Blanc de Blancs

Ruinart made Chardonnay its house signature, and its Blanc de Blancs is the bottle most others get compared to. Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is the vintage version and sits at the very top of that house, made only from Chardonnay. Pommery Champagne gifts include the Apanage Blanc de Blancs. At the grower end, Champagne Autreau's Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs and Baron Fuenté's Quinconce show the same grape doing the same job from a smaller address.

Cap Classique and Blanc de Blancs outside Champagne

Chardonnay makes sparkling wine well outside Champagne, and South African Cap Classique is made by the same method - a second fermentation in the bottle followed by extended ageing on the lees. Klein Constantia's Blanc de Blanc comes from one of the oldest wine estates at the Cape. Different climate, different expression, same grape and same technique. More from the region sits under South African wine.

Buying Blanc de Blancs as a gift, and delivery

Blanc de Blancs works well as a gift for someone who already drinks Champagne, because it reads as a specific choice rather than a default one. Taittinger Comtes de Champagne arrives in the house's own box, and the others can be boxed by hand and finished with our signature large hand-tied ribbon and a message card. The full Champagne gifts range covers the rest. Orders go tracked across the UK mainland with next-day available.

The Fulham Wine Co. Take

Blanc de Blancs is the clearest way to taste what Chardonnay does in a cold climate, because there is nothing else in the blend alongside it. It is also the style that ages in the most interesting direction. Everything on this page is a bottle we would happily put in front of someone who says they do not much like Champagne.

FAQs About Blanc de Blancs Sparkling Wine

What does Blanc de Blancs mean?

White from whites. It means the sparkling wine was made only from white grapes - in Champagne, that means Chardonnay and nothing else. It appears on the label because it is a genuine restriction on what went into the bottle, not a marketing term.

How does it differ from ordinary Champagne?

Most Champagne blends Chardonnay with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, which adds weight and red-fruit character. Leaving those out gives a lighter, sharper, more citrus-driven wine. It is the same grape you find in white Burgundy, in a much colder place.

Is Blanc de Blancs always Champagne?

No. The term describes the grapes, not the place, so any sparkling wine made only from white grapes can use it. Cap Classique from South Africa, made by the same bottle-fermented method, is the example on this page.

Does Blanc de Blancs age well?

It has a reputation for ageing in an interesting direction - the sharpness softens and the citrus turns towards something rounder and more toasted. Vintage examples such as Comtes de Champagne are built for it. Non-vintage bottles are released ready to drink.
