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.

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 using 59% Pinot Noir and 41% Chardonnay, but at the same time, emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics to a greater extent than is evident in the Brut or Le Rêve.

Notes of melon, tangerine, toasted coconut, macadamia nut and pineapple dance on a round and luscious palate. 36% Pinot Gris and 64% Chardonnay.

Very dry and brisk, it is a contemplative wine that appeals to the true Sparkling aficionado. 

Verméil (vehr-MAY) is a Demi-Sec, or lightly sweet sparkling wine. The name Verméil comes from a fire-gilding process first developed in France in the 18th century. Most often it is sterling silver covered with gold. The 2012 Verméil Demi-Sec is the silver of a classic Brut blend overlaid with the gold of a Le Rêve dosage. Its pale gold appearance glitters with very fine lively bubbles.
