What reviewers say
“Mercier! Always in doubt about Mercier, but this BdN is so much better than their regular brut (which is not my thing). This blend of PN 80% and PM 20% is very nice and enjoyable.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Lovely yellow-gray gold, slightly amber color, has a bouquet marked by red and black fruit evoking notes of cherry, strawberry and raspberry jam. Yellow fruits lead into the crispness of nectarine and the exoticness of red grapefruit, yellow plums, white peaches and pineapple.
Mercier Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne is a French sparkling wine from Champagne. The blend is Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Mercier Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Sparkling · France (2,766 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 386.
