Part of Arthur Metz's historic Réserve de l'Abbaye range, which pays tribute to the ancient abbeys of Andlau and Haslach that were early centers of Alsace winemaking. This Blanc de Noirs is produced 100% from Pinot Noir using the classic method, resting on the lees for at least 24 months, giving notes of red fruit such as cherry and raspberry alongside light brioche and yeast character.
This is the cuvée that shows Arthur Metz can go beyond easy-drinking bubbles — 24 months on the lees from 100% Pinot Noir gives it a seriousness that rivals houses charging much more.
