2019 Late Disgorged Brut

In Stock

Pin It

In Champagne, before a méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine earns the right to feature its vintage on the label, it must be aged in the bottle for a minimum of 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. We love this wine now, but know it has exceptional further aging potential.

Wine Profile

Tasting Notes

A select blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this wine displays all the intricacy and harmony of our Carneros estate fruit. Intense aromatics of lemon zest, pie crust, and yellow nectarine interlay with D'Anjou pear, almond skin, and orange blossom. The palate is bright and textured with citrus, stone fruit, and spice, lifted through the vibrant mid-palate and carrying through a rich, supple finish. Extended aging prior to disgorgement rewards us with remarkable power and depth.

Vineyard Notes

The 2019 growing season started with saturated soils thanks to abundant winter and spring rains. Cooler weather throughout the summer meant plenty of time for flavors and aromatics to develop, and an early heat spike in August helped push the ample crop of grapes to full maturity, with a harvest start date of August 15. The continuing heat of August resulted in a fast and furious sparkling harvest of 22 days. The wines that resulted have a focused elegance on the palate that finishes with bright acidity.

Production Notes

61% Estate Grown Pinot Noir, 39% Estate Grown Chardonnay

Food Pairing Notes

Savor this Late Disgorged Brut with king crab, clam linguine, or grilled salmon with citrus chimichurri. Our sparkling winemaker Zak suggests trying this wine with raspberry cobbler, its bright fruit and toasty crumb highlighting the layers of flavor and fine texture in this vintage.
