Details and technical informations about Winery Belden Barns's Blanc de Noirs.
Discover the grape variety: Salagnin
Simple dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it belongs to the ancient grape varieties whose commercial spread has almost vanished and which are studied for their genetic and historical interest. Rare white grape, poorly documented, cultivated in negligible quantities.

The wine region of Sonoma Mountain
High-altitude AVA (up to 2,400 ft, AVA 1985, 800 acres) west of Sonoma Valley: Cabernet Sauvignon signature as king red — powerful, elegant reds with signature mid-palate richness, tannins both round and silky, depth without weight. Vines on the sunny east-facing slope above the fog. Pinot Noir on cooler western slopes. Distinctive thermal belt: mild nights and tempered days, a singular Sonoma elegance.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Rebêche (champagne)
Must obtained in excess of the 2 550 litres authorised for a weight of 4 000 kilos of grapes. The first 2 050 litres constitute the cuvée and the next 500 litres the taille. The rebêche represents 1 to 3 % of the total volume and must be distilled or used to make ratafia.
