WINERY NOTES: "Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs gained international recognition in 1972 when then President Nixon served the wine at the historic Toast to Peace in Beijing, China...The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry and crisp...While this wine can be enjoyed by itself as an apéritif, it is also perfect with fresh oysters and other shellfish, crab cakes, ceviche and grilled sea bass. It is also delicious with lemon chicken and Thai curries. Serve with aged Gouda and other hard cheeses, or as a counterpoint to soft triple creams."
TASTING NOTES: “Our 2022 Blanc de Blancs has lifted aromas of green apple, apple tart, and apple custard, intermingled with tangerine and lemon-lime. Its vibrant flavors of fresh grapefruit, golden apple and white peach bring drive to the mid-palate, leading to a clean finish with notes of vanilla chiffon and a hint of ginger.” - Winemakers Sean Thompson, Jessica Koga and Hugh Davies
WINE ENTHUSIAST 94 POINTS - "Soft, tiny bubbles persist in the glass with nuances of brewer's yeast, green, apple, green, guava, green papaya, and quince and crystallized ginger on the nose. Mid palate is extra firm mousse with fresh green apple, Asian pear, white nectarine, pink grapefruit zest and buttery brioche biscuit and grated orange and mineral on the finish."
WINE SPECTATOR 92 POINTS - "Dynamic and fragrant, offering lemon blossom, orange peel and blanched almond flavors. Finishes on a vibrant, fresh accent."
