Vibrant yellow color with green hues. Complex with intense aromas of green apple and pear. Dry and fresh on the palate, with a fine persistence of bubbles and creamy mouth-feel due to its appropriately balanced acidity and juicy fruit flavor. Le Grand Noir® is what happens when an award-winning wine author and critic, a globetrotting winemaker, and an internationally acclaimed label-designer get together over a few good bottles of wine. They wondered how they might create a wine that brings together the classic and complex, food-friendly, flavors of France with the accessibility of the New World.
