2015 Le Rêve Blanc de Blancs
In Stock
Le Rêve is our esteemed tête de cuvée - our winery’s finest sparkling wine. French for “the dream,” it was Claude Taittinger’s dream to produce the finest blanc de blancs in the United States. Produced using exacting méthode traditionnelle winemaking, this wine exhibits a complexity and concentration resultant of aging for a minimum of six years en tirage. Le Rêve is crafted from our most prized blocks of 100% estate grown Chardonnay, making it a pure expression of Domaine Carneros.
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
On the nose, our classic Le Rêve captivates with lovely notes of ginger, crème brûlée, toasted coconut, and citrus zest. The palate opens up with pear, yuzu, brioche, and notes of a fresh baked lemon pie. This wine displays depth and purity that leads to a long, elegant finish. As with many great wines, our 2015 Le Rêve has been crafted to be long-lived and will continue to evolve for decades in the cellar. Delicious now, but there will be additional flavor benefits for those who can wait.
Vineyard Notes
The 2015 growing season began with an early bud break and the warm vintage continued to an early harvest on July 31, the second earliest in the history of Domaine Carneros. The light yields of this vintage resulted in a concentration of flavors and complexity in the fruit.
Food Pairing Notes
Savor this vintage of Le Rêve on its own for the most memorable occasions. Our winemaker suggests pairing it with lobster, linguine with clams, creamy four cheese pasta, or triple-cream cheeses.
