Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Behind Blanc de Blanc champagne
Blanc de Blancs means, translated from French, white on the white (green grapes).
Of course, you make white wine from green grapes, but in the vast majority of Champagnes, you mainly use blue grapes to make Champagne, so when the producers choose to make a Champagne from only the permitted green grape Chardonnay, you call it a Blanc de Blancs Champagne.
