A Finger Lakes Blanc de Blancs made on Champagne's own terms: all Chardonnay, made by the traditional method. Limnad is the sparkling project of Red Tail Ridge winemaker Nancy Irelan, whose vineyards sit above the west side of Seneca Lake on heavy clay and glacial till. The climate there is cool, and the region built much of its early 19th-century wine trade on bubbles. Nancy earned a Ph.D. in grape genetics from UC Davis, and the farming is just as carefully thought out. She uses no herbicides (a mechanical weed knife does that job). For all of Limnad's sparkling wines, the grapes are hand-picked and pressed in whole clusters, keeping only the free run and first light pressings. Think of it as a grower-Champagne approach from upstate New York, and think about what comparable Champagne usually costs.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Oysters on the half shell, smoked trout rillettes on rye crisps, gougères, sashimi or simple nigiri, buttermilk fried chicken, and pan-fried lake perch with lemon.

Tasting Profile

Expect a taut, cool-climate Blanc de Blancs: green apple, lemon and white flowers, with a hint of brioche from the traditional method. Extra Brut means very little dosage, so expect it bone-dry and light-bodied, with bright, high acidity, fine bubbles and a crisp, clean finish. Think of a leaner, brisker Champagne Blanc de Blancs.
