The Domaine Carneros Cuve de la Pompadour Brut Ros, celebrates the life and times of Madame de Pompadour (the great courtesan and mistress of Louis XV) who is credited with introducing Champagne to the court and was an influential tastemaker in the matters of art, architecture and philosophyfamous for her comment, “Champagne is the only wine a woman can drink and remain beautiful.”

Domaine Carneros Brut Ros is a wine of great balance, emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics to a greater extent than evident in the Brut or Le Rve. It is made strictly with artisan attention to quality, with sourcing exclusively from Carneros and the use of time-honored Champenoise methods of production. A blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, the Brut Ros is meant to be enjoyed at a fairly young age, when the fruity character is still predominant yet there is enough age to make the wine round and balanced.

The wine’s aroma has hints of wild strawberries and roses with notes of peach Although a pale pink in color, Brut Ros is not sweeter than our other wines. It is a true Brut.

Wine Enthusiast – 92 Points

From estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this sparkler is dry, nutty and spicy, with a creaminess of brioche and baked apple. In the glass it evolves to show high-toned acidity and a freshness of citrus, with grainy texture adding to its complexity.

Wine Spectator – 92 Points

Refined and vibrant, with strawberry blossom, peach and spicy cinnamon flavors that take on richness on the long finish.
