Domaine Carneros Brut Rose Cuvee de la Pompadour - Champagne & Sparkling

Ros? by Domaine Carneros from Carneros, California. The Domaine Carneros Brut Rose Cuvee de la Pompadour, celebrates the life and times of Madame de Pompadour (the great courtesan and mistress of Louis XV) who is credited with introducing Champagne to the court and was an influential tastemaker in the matters of art, architecture and philosophy-famous for her comment, Champagne is the only wine a woman can drink and remain beautiful. Domaine Carneros Brut Rose is a wine of great balance, emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics to a greater extent than evident in the Brut or Le R?ve. It is made strictly with artisan attention to quality, with sourcing exclusively from Carneros and the use of time-honored Champenoise methods of production. A blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, the Brut Rose is meant to be enjoyed at a fairly young age, when the fruity character is still predominant yet there is enough age to make the wine round and balanced. The wine's aroma has hints of wild strawberries and roses with notes of peach Although a pale pink in color, Brut Rose is not sweeter than our other wines. It is a true Brut. Dainty, perfumed aromas of dried cherry, orange peel and apple with a cleansing minerality. Lush, though quite active flavors of orange, raspberry, tobacco and chalk. Dry, invigorating finish. -Wine News
