"The platinum-gold color barely hints at the fact that the wine is 100 percent pinot noir, grown in the chalk and clay soils of Verzenay. The floral notes of roses might, along with the the youthful power. The fruit shows off a range of earthiness, bringing to mind the skin of a fresh-dug potato, and the fuzz of an underripe peach. It’s as if the Champagne limestone had come to life in a wine that’s formidable and refreshing." 

Wine Advocate, 92+ Points 

"Based on the 2014 vintage and disgorged in June 2020, the new release of the NV Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Obsidienne is very pretty, offering up fragrant aromas of orchard fruit, apple blossom, orange oil and subtle hints of coniferous forest. Medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive, with fine depth at the core, tangy acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it's an elegantly muscular wine derived from holdings in Very and Verzenay." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"100% Pinot Noir, selected from Grand Cru-rated terroir in the village of Verzenay. So much complexity, so much soul. Wildflowers, small red berries, roses, stone fruit. A bold and very beautiful Blanc de Noirs." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
