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.

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 beauty of our methóde traditionnelle wines is that the longer they age the more harmonious and elegant they become. This Rosé from 2012 vintage is labeled as LATE DISGORGED because it is held back for an additional two years for a total of five years resting on the lees (aka “sur lie”).

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. 

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.

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.
