About the Wine
Blanc de Blancs is sourced exclusively from Frank Family’s Lewis Vineyard in Carneros. Here, the predominant maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay creates the cool temperatures, fog, and wind that make our vineyard site ideally suited for growing cool-climate varieties. Lewis Vineyard consists primarily of shallow and dense clay loam soils that result in extremely low yields, producing grapes with strong character and balanced acidity.
Tasting Notes
Crisp and elegant, our signature sparkler has a lemony mousse and an enticing acid-driven freshness. The 2019 Blanc de Blancs leads with aromas of stone fruit, lime, and just-baked bread that opens on the midpalate to more richness and depth. Sophisticated bubbles converge with hints of ground ginger and lemon rind for a long, clean finish.
Pairing Notes
The 2019 Frank Family Blanc de Blancs pairs beautifully with a range of refined dishes. Its bright acidity enhances seafood like crab, lobster, and shellfish, while its creamy texture complements goat cheese puffs or caviar-topped blinis. A lobster citrus salad mirrors its lemony freshness, and light bites like yellowtail carpaccio, fried chicken, or chèvre en croûte highlight its elegant finesse.
