Trump 2019 Blanc de Blancs Brut Sparkling Wine Monticello
The 2019 Blanc de Blancs Brut from Trump Winery is an elegant, vibrant sparkling wine that shows off the purity and finesse of Chardonnay. Bright fruit, crisp acidity, and fine bubbles come together in a refined, Champagne-inspired style that offers freshness, charm, and sophistication — ideal for celebrations or as a beautifully clean aperitif.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Made entirely from estate-grown Chardonnay in the Monticello AVA of Virginia, this sparkling wine is crafted using the traditional method of bottle fermentation, the same process used in Champagne.
After primary fermentation, the wine undergoes:
-
Secondary fermentation in bottle
-
Extended lees aging to enrich texture, complexity, and mousse quality
-
Careful riddling and disgorgement to achieve brilliance and purity
The result is a Blanc de Blancs with lively acidity, fresh orchard-fruit character, and subtle brioche complexity — hallmarks of meticulous sparkling-wine craftsmanship.
Critics Reviews
Professional tasters consistently praise several qualities in this Blanc de Blancs:
-
Its bright, clean fruit profile, led by green apple, pear, and citrus.
-
A fine, persistent mousse that gives the wine elegance on the palate.
-
Subtle lees-driven notes — brioche, almond, and pastry — that add depth without heaviness.
-
Its overall balance and sophistication, making it a strong example of American méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine.
Reviewers often highlight its finesse and freshness, noting its strong value and broad appeal for sparkling-wine lovers.
