Sparkling
Testulat Carte D'Or Blanc de Noirs Brut NV Champagne
From £38.95
Why Mark chose this
Blanc de Noirs is Champagne made entirely from red grapes, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier here, which gives it more body and red fruit character than a Blanc de Blancs. Testulat is a small, family-owned house in Epernay, not one of the famous names, but they make honest and carefully produced Champagne. This one had 36 months of ageing on the lees, which is longer than many, and it shows in the depth and richness. Good value for what is a proper, well-made fizz.
