Domaine Carneros

Named for the neighborhood surrounding Domaine Carneros, this very special blend is crafted from six of our favorite Pinot Noir clones grown in three nearby vineyards. This winery exclusive evokes a complex, spicy aroma and presents a dense, sweet palate with notes of cranberry and bright cherry. 

Late Disgorged Le Rêve is a testament to patience. Aged nearly ten years sur lies en bouteille (on the lees, in the bottle), the limited-production bottling is an opulently layered masterpiece born of the crème de la crème of our broader Sparkling wine portfolio.

Before a sparkling wine earns the right to feature its vintage on the label, it must be aged in the bottle for three years. Our Late Disgorged Brut goes well beyond that strict requirement with a total of six years aging sur lie en bouteille - on the lees, in the bottle. The result is an enhanced, enriched edition of our acclaimed Domaine Carneros Brut Cuvée.

The “Famous Gate” pays homage to our deep commitment to Pinot Noir. For the past 25 years, we’ve carefully cultivated 12 separate clonal selections in a wide variety of soils, providing a complex range of Pinot Noir expressions. Our passion for Pinot Noir and dedication to artisan winemaking methods make the Famous Gate a wine worth seeking. 

The 2014 edition of our Limited Barrel Selection is made up of the nine best barrels in the cellar, which yielded just 224 cases of this very special wine.  Perfect ripeness, integration and balance come together with French oak barrel aging to produce a wine with magnificent presence and gravitas - along with grace and suppleness which are hallmarks of Domaine Carneros Pinot Noir.

Domaine Carneros Pinot Noir begins in our four sustainably farmed Estate Vineyards, which are all located within four miles of the Château.  We grow eleven different clones of Pinot Noir and each one contributes its unique flavor profile and personality to make this compelling blend which is truly a mosaic of our Carneros terroir.  This full bodied Pinot packs a full range of red and darker berry flavors and a vibrant acidity from beginning to end.  

Le Rêve is a highly respected tête de cuvée - our winery’s finest Sparkling wine and frequently named America’s Best Sparkling. French for “the dream,” Le Rêve is crafted from 100% estate-grown Chardonnay, making it a pure expression of Domaine Carneros.
