Schramsberg Vineyards Blanc de Blancs 2009
Vintage Character
2009 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs is a North Coast California sparkling wine made entirely from Chardonnay in the traditional method, a landmark American Blanc de Blancs that helped define the category. The 2009 vintage is widely regarded as strong in California, with a long, even growing season that preserved freshness while allowing full flavor development, giving the wine both precision and breadth. Its North Coast sourcing, centered on cool-climate vineyard sites in Napa and Sonoma with additional coastal influence from Mendocino and Marin, brings the brisk acidity, citrus lift, and mineral tension that set this cuvée apart.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, it opens with lemon zest, green apple, pear, and white peach, followed by brioche, toasted almond, and a touch of ginger from extended lees aging. The palate is vibrant and finely textured, balancing crisp acidity with creamy mousse and layered flavors of citrus, orchard fruit, and baked pastry, finishing long, dry, and chalk-tinged. It pairs beautifully with oysters, roast chicken with herbs, or tempura prawns, dishes that echo its energy and refined richness.
Winery Background
Schramsberg Vineyards was founded in 1862 on Diamond Mountain and was revitalized in 1965 by Jack and Jamie Davies, who became pioneers of premium méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine in the United States. The winery remains family-led and is especially known for championing cool-climate fruit, careful hand-harvesting, and long lees maturation to build complexity without sacrificing freshness. As the first American winery to produce a commercial Blanc de Blancs, and a house long associated with major state celebrations, Schramsberg remains a benchmark for California sparkling wine through its combination of historical significance, rigorous craftsmanship, and unmistakable house style.
