DOMAINE CARNEROS METHODE TRADITIONALELLE BRUT ROSE - 750ML
The first and only U.S. sparkling winery with 100% of its estate vineyards certified organic, Domaine Carneros also installed the largest photovoltaic solar collection system on any winery in the world in 2003.
More than 250 years ago, Louis XV�s great paramour, Madame de la Pompadour, famously introduced sparkling wine to the court at Versailles. She declared it �the only wine that a woman can drink and remain beautiful,� and today Domaine Carneros� Pompadour Brut Rose is named in her honor. Domaine Carneros harvests estate-grown, certified organic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from its vineyards in Carneros to craft small quantities of this beautifully balanced Brut Rose. The Pinot Noir juice spends several days in contact with the grape skins in order to extract the lovely color and flavor components. In some years a small amount of estate Pinot Noir wine is added to adjust the color when needed.
Ros� wines are often believed to be made only from pinot noir, but many including ours have some chardonnay added. In creating our Ros�, we worked to create a wine of great balance using pinot noir and chardonnay, but at the same time, emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics to a greater extent than is evident in the Brut or Le R�ve.
