I’m a big fan of Blanc de Noirs champagnes and of this Blanc de Noirs English sparkling wine from Ridgeview. Produced by the champagne method from Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier, this vintage English sparkling wine exudes flavours of red fruits including cherries plus sweet spice and toasty notes

Ridgeview Blanc de Noirs 2015 is a very welcome addition to the portfolio because I am a huge fan of Blanc de Noirs champagne. This wine is Blanc de Noirs English sparkling wine produced sustainably (certified) by the champagne method in only the best vintages from champagne grapes, Pinot Noir (52%) and Pinot Meunier (48%). Many of the grapes are grown just below the South Downs ridge on similar soils to the Champagne region in Ridgeview’s original estate and some come from specially selected partner growers. Ridgeview has learned since its inception in 1995 that diversifying their grape sources from select vineyards is key to the quality of wine since “all have very different characteristics and contribute something special to our English sparkling wine”.
Ridgeview Blanc de Noirs 2015 is an amazing sparkling wine that is full of apple, red berry and red cherry fruit flavours with ginger and toasty notes. It is rich and complex, balancing savoury nutty notes with ripe baked fruit. is beautifully balanced with a very long-lasting tasty finish. All in all, a lovely glass of bubbly!
Ridgeview has been at the forefront of the English wine revolution since owners, the Roberts family, planted their first vines in 1995. Their debut wine in 2000 won English Wine of the Year and their wines, including this one, continue to sweep the board at national and international wine competitions. Now run by the second generation of the family, they stick to their original aim – exceptional quality from vine to glass – and are considered specialists in cool climate viticulture and sustainable winemaking. They are a founder member of Sustainable Wines GB.

Drink on its own as a “contemplation wine” or with canapés, smoked salmon and other oily fish like mackerel, caviar, shellfish including lobster. Other great matches are chicken, turkey, mushrooms, truffles and, according to the producers, duck which makes sense since Pinot Noir and duck are great friends!
Serve at: 10 – 12°C
“Only made in years where our Pinot grapes achieve the perfect balance of ripeness. The deep golden colour hints at the rich complexities to come where blackcurrant and apricot aromas are complemented by hints of sweet spice and fresh herbs. The palate bursts with snappy red cherries and toasted almonds and the full mousse leads to a long, harmonious finish.”
