<p>Blanc de Blancs (&quot;white from white&quot;) made from Chardonnay is the counterpart to the Blanc de Noirs (&quot;white from black&quot;), made from Pinot Noir. Blanc de Blancs was the first wine Schramsberg produced in 1965 and was America&rsquo;s first commercially produced Chardonnay-based brut sparkling wine. Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs gained international recognition in 1972 when then President Nixon served the wine at the historic &ldquo;Toast to Peace&rdquo; in Beijing, China.</p><p><strong>88 Points, Wine Spectator:</strong></p><p>&quot;Sleek and layered, offering vanilla and Meyer lemon tart aromas and supple citrus flavors, with hints of caramel and anise. Drink now. 20,550 cases made. &ndash;TF&quot; (11/ 30/2010)</p><p><strong>88 Points, Wine Enthusiast:</strong></p><p>&quot;Appealing flavors in this dry, tart bubbly. Flatters with vanilla bean, lemon zest, tangerine and toast flavors, with a nice edge of yeast. The bubbles could be a little finer, though, as the wine is a little rough in the mouth. S.H.

"While some local Blanc de Noirs bottlings succeed on the strength of buoyant fruit, this one does so by way of refinement. Its yeasty, nicely layered aromas are graced with subtle suggestions of cherries, minerals and a scant touch of chalk, and its very deep, well-autolyzed flavors articulately express classic champenization. It is quite dry to the taste without becoming austere, and it is enlivened by a steady stream of very small bubbles."

"Mainly Pinot Noir, with some Chardonnay for brightness and citrusy zest, this brilliantly clean wine has an incredibly fierce mousse. It seems to boil in the glass, and the followup mouthfeel is as creamy and refined as any California sparkler in memory. The Pinot asserts itself in delicate touches of raspberries and strawberries. Delicious and compelling now. Try with sushi."

“Perhaps the finest portfolio of Schramsberg sparkling wines I have tasted to date, these beauties include the outstanding, frothy 2007 Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay), which reveals notes of brioche, white currants and lemon blossoms. Medium-bodied with persistent effervescence and excellent acidity, it should drink nicely for several years or more....”

"Lush and creamy, bright and weighty with balance; alive with citrus and raspberry flavors."

loved this champaign. got at new years eve tasting at tastings with Stefani
