What to Expect

Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Winemakers Notes

Blanc de Blancs was the first wine Schramsberg produced in 1965 and was America's first commercially produced, Chardonnay-based brut sparkling wine. It was famously served by President Nixon in 1972 at the "Toast to Peace" in Beijing, China. Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc is dry and crisp, with flavors of crisp apples, creamy lemon, and tangy pineapple. Hints of fresh baked brioche and toasted hazelnut round out the nose and palate. From Wine Spectator: "Lush and supple, offering creamy citrus and Asian pear aromas, with nicely layered lemon curd, cinammon and ginger flavors read more...that build to a light, crisp note."    (hide)
