This is what makes Champagne such an exceptional wine: clean, digestible and elegant.Made exclusively of black grapes, the CODE NOIR Cuvée is strong in character. It will regale you with the authentic story of Champagne, and will tell you more still if you succeed in decrypting its code.

The NV Brut Rose Code Noir is one of the most unique roses readers will come across. A rich, deep color provides the first hint of what is to follow. This is an exuberant, powerful wine endowed with gorgeous depth in its rich, varietal fruit and vinous, full-bodied personality. All of the elements come together with unusual grace, leading to an enveloping finish that stains the palate with fruit. The Code Noir is not for the timid, but is a wine very well suited to all but the heartiest of foods. WA93
