Domaine Carneros Brut Ros is named for Madame de la Pompadour, Louis XV’s great paramour. It was she who introduced sparkling wine to the court at Versailles. A blend of Pinot Noir (59%) and Chardonnay (41%) showcasing the fruitiness of the Pinot Noir to a great extent. The wines aroma, delivered on a delicate mousse, hints at wild strawberries, ripe peach, apricot, pomegranate, honeysuckle and exotic spices. Despite its color, it is a true Brut. And while enjoyable at a young age, it will also gain wonderful complexity with aging.
