2023 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs, North Coast California

The 2023 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs is a classic expression of California Chardonnay from one of America's pioneering sparkling wine producers. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay sourced primarily from Sonoma and Napa counties, this vintage reflects a cool, moderate growing season that allowed the fruit to develop exceptional balance and purity. Bright aromas of fresh apple, pineapple, lemon blossom, and Asian pear lead into layers of lemon meringue, fresh bread, and pie crust. The palate is crisp and vibrant, with green apple, lemon zest, lime, lemon curd, and sugar cookie, finishing clean and tangy with a finely textured mousse. A refined sparkling wine that pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, caviar, grilled seafood, lemon chicken, Thai cuisine, and aged cheeses.
