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!

These are always hard to pass up, even when there’s a few left downstairs…let’s see…My neighbors just sold their house (1 or 2) then the new neighbors (1) then daughters 1st wedding anniversary + Fathers Day weekend (2 more)! Yep, better re-stock
The only question was whether to buy 1 or 2. Since I just purchased a new laptop, my better instincts kicked in and I was able to restrict myself to one.
Always buy for these. Liked them better last year when they were $124.99… but I guess that’s life. The Gruet Rose Sparkling was good too, waiting for that to come back.
@Winedavid49 I would have bought many cases since April; here’s another one I will have to pass on. I’m hoping for repeats in November and summer hold options…love me some fried chicken and bubbly.

Love Gruet, but I was hoping to see the brut rosé offered this summer.
Every time this comes up I die a little inside as there’s no OH on the shipping list.

This is such an autobuy for me that I appear to have four cases unopened! Guess I’d better (#1) pass on this offer, and (#2) drink more!
