Frequently asked about Court Garden Blanc de Noirs
What grapes are in Court Garden Blanc de Noirs?
Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, both dark-skinned grapes pressed gently so the wine stays white.
What does Extra Dry mean on the label?
In sparkling wine, Extra Dry carries slightly more dosage than Brut, so it is a touch rounder, though still firmly in the dry range.
Is Court Garden Blanc de Noirs a food wine?
Court Garden says it pairs wonderfully with food as well as being enjoyed as an aperitif, and the Pinot base gives it more weight than the estate's Chardonnay bottlings.
