Blanc de blancs

French term ("white from white") for a white wine made from white wine grapes. It is generally used for a champagne produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. Alternatively, "Blanc de cramant" is also used in the Grand Cru commune of Cramant in the Côte de Blancs Champagne region. Outside of Champagne, this applies to a sparkling wine made from white wine grapes.

Blanc de blancs - Flasche (aus Chardonnay)

A white wine or champagne made from dark red wine grapes is called blanc de noirs (literally "white from black"). The term is also frequently used in other countries to describe wines specifically.

EU wine law

Within the EU, this term is not defined in wine law and is not a protected traditional term. It is therefore up to the member states to define the relevant regulations.
