Pinot Noir the Chameleon:
Rosé de Saignée vs. Blanc de Noirs
Dear Extra Brut Friends,
Champagne has long been celebrated for its masterful blends: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier coming together to make a wine of harmony. But many of Champagne’s hottest new growers focus on single-varietal expressions, making some of the region’s most exciting wines today.
This month, we dive into this world with two wildly distinct versions of 100% Pinot Noir Champagne—one transformed into a structured, vinous Rosé de Saignée, the other into a precise, mineral-driven Blanc de Noirs. Both wines hail from Premier and Grand Cru sites in the Montagne de Reims, but their differing terroirs and distinct winemaking techniques reveal strikingly different faces of one of France’s greatest grapes.
Cheers,
Your Friends at Flatiron Wines

GROWER CHAMPAGNE
A guide to the best bubbles in the world and what makes them different from the Grandes Marques
Champagne is the world’s most famous sparkling wine. Hailing from the Champagne regions of France, its biggest names are among the biggest names in wine: Moet, Dom Perignon, Veuve Clicquot, Cristal.
But there’s another side to Champagne: a universe of small-scale producers preserving ancient family farming traditions and bottling wines you’ve never heard of.
These are the Grower Champagnes.
