Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc 2019 - 3L

93pts Connoisseurs' Guide

Here is a wine that finds an extra bit of richness and hints of aged nuttiness for extra complexity in its aromas and follows them up on the palate with a full, foamy, insistent and creamy mousse and stony, crisp, lively flavors. On the one hand, it comes with layers belying its youth, while, on the other, it is bright, full of life and inviting on that score alone. It hits all of the right marks smartly and is highly recommended to those, who like us, like to keep a few bottles of very good Blanc de Blancs that is not extravagantly priced on hand in the cellar at all times.  

93pts Wine Enthusiast

Fresh, bright aromas of green apple, lemon juice, lime zest and lime leaf complemented by a light toasty-bread scent waft out of the glass almost immediately. Beautiful acidity keeps the lively fruits front and center, whilst those yeast tones add a layer of complexity to the flavor profile as well as a lovely weight and body to the mouthfeel.

Crisp yet luxurious and creamy, with vibrant lemon tart, apple and toasted almond flavors that glide on a long, plush finish.

Winemaker Notes

The 2019 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs has lifted aromas of fresh Granny Smith apple, lemon-lime and fresh baked bread, intermingled with hints of baked pineapple and toasted almonds. Its vibrant flavors of Meyer lemon and tart apple bring drive to the mid-palate, leading to a clean, palate-cleansing finish.
