An introduction
To understand what a Blanc de Blancs is, you first must know about its counterpart, Blanc de Noirs.
This is what we call a white wine that is made from red grapes. This is possible because the pigment isn’t found in the pulp, but in the peel.

Which makes Blancs de Blancs – that’s right! – a sparkling wine made from white grapes. How about an example?
