Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Both the 2010 Blanc de Noirs and Blanc de Blancs were just recently disgorged after aging en tirage for over six years, which enabled them to mature into more opulent, intense, and complex wines. As with our 1990 vintage, this extended yeast contact kept the fruit flavors fresh and lively, while also allowing the wines to develop a creamier and more voluptuous texture.

About the Producer

Honoring the traditional French practice of méthode champenoise, “En Tirage” refers to that period of time during which bottled still wine is given the opportunity to sparkle. The addition of yeast and a little sugar creates the defining bubbles that will grow smaller and softer each year. En Tirage is the project of Don Baumhefner, who got his start working with Joe Swan in the 80s. His first wine was made from dropped fruit in Joe's vineyard which was just ripe enough for sparkling wine and so his journey began.
