August is a magical time in Carneros - the Château is buzzing with activity as our estate grapes are transformed into delicious cuvées. To celebrate this exuberant time, we are offering three of our most beloved sparklings, irresistibly priced through August 31. Join us in toasting the success of the 2018 vintage!  

Our Estate Brut is a small cuvée comprised only of grapes grown in our own vineyards. The wine was aged a full three plus years in our cellar.  We love this wine now, but know it has exceptional further aging potential.

Rosé wines are often believed to be made only from Pinot Noir, but the best, including ours, have Chardonnay added for structure. In creating our Rosé we worked to create a wine of great balance while emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics to a greater extent than in our Brut or Le Rêve.

A special gem from the acclaimed 2013 vintage, this exciting wine is an insider's favorite. Exceptionally brisk and refreshing, look for notes of white flower and lime blossom, with a light toastiness and subtle hints of tropical fruit and golden apple. 

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.

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. 

Verméil (vehr-MAY) is a Demi-Sec, or lightly sweet sparkling wine. When sparkling Champagne was first created in the latter part of the 17th century, sugar was flooding into Europe from Brazil, the Caribbean and eventually Louisiana. As sugar became widely available, sparkling Champagne became a sweet drink. Modern tastes have driven most fine sparkling wines to the dry side; however, an extra touch of dosage makes for a delightful experience.
