Blanc de Noirs NV: 90 Points & Top 100 - Wine Spectator
French for “white of black”, Blanc de Noirs describes a sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir grapes, by pressing them gently and running the pale juice over the skins.
Pale Salmon in color, the Blanc de Noirs has aromas of berry and pear, complemented by a rich, round mouthfeel on the palate. It finishes with a layer of cream and pleasant, warm toastiness. Incredibly versatile with all styles of food!
Gruet Sauvage NV:
Gruet Sauvage NV is a bone-dry sparkler, pale straw in color with a delicate but persistent mousse. The aromas of bright mineral and citrus notes tickle the nose followed by touches of green apple, lemon, and grapefruit. The finish is structured, flavorful and long. The bright acidity makes this wine a perfect pairing for oysters, sushi and cream sauces.
Gruet Brut NV: 90 Points & Top 100 - Wine Spectator
Brut NV was our first wine released in 1989. As the predominant grape used in Champagne, “We wanted our first sparkling wine to express the finesse of Chardonnay”- Laurent Gruet. More than twenty years later, our Brut NV remains our flagship sparkling wine for both quality and price.
Wonderful aromas of green apple and citrus with mineral notes make for a delightful start to this traditional sparkler. Our Brut NV offers bright, crisp acidity complimented by a touch of yeast on the delightfully long finish. A classic house style!

I have purchased this numerous times. Great sparkling wine to have on hand at a daily drinker price point. All 3 styles are good QPR by my standards. It is a bit more, $15 for the case, than the last two offers (12/19, and 08/19), but still a good value. Interesting though, as my email has been flooded with offers where wine prices are typically much lower than prior sales.
@pseudogourmet98@Winedavid49 I don’t mind. The state store here in PA charges 18 to 25 for these, so it’s still a deal, especially while they’re still shut down for virus reasons. I’d murder for a good margarita or sake at this point.
Get this every time it’s up. Only a few bottles left and we’ll be celebrating a new baby next week, so we’ll both (especially her) be jonesing for some bubbles over the next few months. Perfect timing.
I would love, love, love a case or two, but no Ohio shipping. This isn’t new, in the past I Wootlegged a case to a NY wine lover. I’ve been to their tasting room in Santa Fe and loved their still wines too!
For those that live in states that allow shipping you should buy this wine based on one of Gruet’s slogans alone. On signs in their tasting room, and on apparel it reads “Kiss French, Drink American.” Who can say no to that?!!!
We opened a Sauvage earlier today. Crisp and tasty as always. Finished the evening (and the bottle), as my husband made me a French 75. My favorite cocktail.
autobuy. in for a case, have been waiting for this! casemates/meh/morningsave providing some much needed good news (and booze!) in this crazy time of coronavirus.

@chipgreen Really? 6.66?! And the survey is 7 deadly sins? Maybe you should’ve rounded up again, just sayn’
@ttboy23
Autobuy. We have most of one case left, but that’s like, 4 or 5 more weekends with this lockdown.
@Jamileigh17 Same on the auto buy.

@pseudogourmet98 yea, we did the math and decided to actually cover our costs this time around! Still a killer deal IMO
@pseudogourmet98 @Winedavid49 this wine is a good deal at retail. Just gotta decide if I need this, or save three money for that Scott Harvey Barbera
@pseudogourmet98 @Winedavid49
How might a different selection pencil out?
I’ve still got most of these and could use some variety.
@pseudogourmet98 @rjquillin good point, but this is such a staple…

It’s like they know I’m not spending money on anything else. Third case in two weeks.

Autobuy. These all went very quickly last time around.

No more Indiana shipping? Normally an Autobuy but I can’t anymore :’(
@therealsutano Argh. I’m with you on the lack of IN shipping.
For those that live in states that allow shipping you should buy this wine based on one of Gruet’s slogans alone. On signs in their tasting room, and on apparel it reads “Kiss French, Drink American.” Who can say no to that?!!!
Yes! thank you! 2 for me.

Poured the Blanc de Blanc at our wedding. The winery is a must stop if you’re in Albuquerque too. In for a six pack.

Was only gonna buy 6, but I didn’t have a choice with the case sold out. Anyway, glad to be a repeat purchaser of this stuff. It’s delicious.

Hold up! Will be adding more cases momentarily! This one snuck up on us!!
@Winedavid49 Cases appear to be live again!
I’m seeing a champagne summer in our future.
