When it’s time to let the bubbly flow this holiday season, there’s no better choice than the 92 pt. Gruet Blanc de Noirs, its luscious creamy mousse and refreshing acidity perfect for sipping and toasting and equally delicious as a sparkling mixer for brunch time mimosas, an Aperol spritz or a festive craft cocktail, offered at an almost unbelievable bargain price worthy of raising a glass and stocking up.

Producing his family's first Gruet et Fils in the Champagne region in 1967, French native Gilbert Gruet became intrigued with crafting a Champagne-style sparkling wine in the US, inspired by a small group of Alsatian winemakers who were quietly having success harvesting wine grapes in New Mexico. After purchasing land three hours south of Albuquerque in 1984, the Gruet family planted an experimental high-altitude vineyard exclusively with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, releasing their first US sparkling wine in 1989. Garnering consistent critical acclaim over the last three decades including a spot on the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 and a Top 100 Best Buy by Wine & Spirits, experienced Reims-born “chef de cave” Cyril Tanazacqhas produced Gruet’s outstanding Blanc de Noirs in Champagne’s methode traditionnelle, crafting a deliciously refined and classically styled Pinot Noir-dominated blend balanced by Chardonnay’s racy acidity with 24 months of lees aging in the bottle to develop its complex toasty flavors.

Whether hosting an event or celebrating with family and friends, the enticing 92 pt. Gruet Blanc de Noirs is "continuous and rich with a ripe elegance" according to the Tasting Panel, its deceptively inexpensive price offering an opportunity to “pop the cork” without hesitation throughout the holiday season and beyond.

Rich aromatics of Pinot Noir, wondering full textures, refined, with excellent finish; crisp and clean.

92 points, Bob Sprentall, B-21 Proprietor (Nov 2022)

Continuous and rich with a ripe elegance; dry, balanced, and deep; a carefully-made wine at a very reasonable price.
