The land was inexpensive and the opportunity golden. In 1984, Gilbert Gruet, whose Champagne house, Gruet et Fils had produced fine Champagne in Bethon, France, since 1952, made the decision to plant an experimental vineyard, exclusively planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. His children, winemaker Laurent and daughter Nathalie, and family friend Farid Himeur then relocated to the great state of New Mexico to begin their American wine making adventure. The Vineyards that produce the grapes for the Blanc de Noirs are located in Engle, NM at an altitude of 4,200 feet. The ages of the vines are 16 years. The Pinot Noir grapes were harvested by hand.  The rich and toasty character is balanced and superb. Aged for a two year minimum, the palate is developed and shows rich complex flavors. A fine salmon color, aggressive mousse and a lovely fruit palate give this wine plenty of immediate charm and toasty aromas. There is also an explosive juicy flavor of raspberry. The rich and toasty character is balanced and superb.
