Indicative of seductive sophistication and grace, Domaine Carneros Rosé Cuvée de la Pompadour wine offers an evocative blend of nuanced flavours. Its elegant notes of ripe strawberries, fresh raspberries, and hints of pomegranate intrigue the palate, while its riveting fanfare of tiny bubbles add a vibrant dimension. Built on a foundation of Pinot Noir, this Californian sparkling rosé pays homage to the 18th century French aristocrat, Madame de Pompadour. Pour a glass to appreciate its delicate pink hue, inviting aroma, and crisp minerality, rounding off to a lingering, satisfying finish. Perfect for both special occasions and casual rendezvous.

Tasting Notes

The wine's aroma, delivered on a delicate mousse, hints at wild strawberry, ripe peach, apricot, pomegranate, honeysuckle and exotic spices. Despite its color, it is a true Brut - as dry as our other wines. And while Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé is enjoyable at a young age, it will also gain wonderful complexity with aging
