The Wapato, Washington-based Treveri Cellars is coming up on its fourth anniversary this month. Treveri was proudly one of Washington’s first and few producers of sparkling wines, producing méthode champenoise bubbles exclusively. According to its mission statement, the winery set out to “put Washington sparkling wine on the map.” While this is quite the grand conquest, so too is its Blanc de Blanc Brut sparkling white wine, so clearly these guys have put those four years to good use.
The 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blanc Brut is an approachable and social sparkling wine. The nose is yeasty, fruity and bright with high effervescence and very fine bubbles that pop like fireworks just above the glass. The body is crisp, fresh and light with notes of pear, honey and a spritz of citrus with a slightly dry finish. It’s sophisticated, yet fun—just like Washington sparkling wine should be.
