Domaine Carneros Brut Rose Cuvee de la Pompadour NV Review
Along with the founders of many other famous houses, Claude Taittinger of Champagne Taittinger arrived in Carneros in 1987. After securing 138 acres, he and the one and only Eileen Crane (the mother of American sparkling wine) came together to create Domaine Carneros. Over forty years later, Eileen’s legacy remains. This rosé has that earthy Parmigiano rind and prominent alcohol on the nose that brings this wine into a heady space. Even with high acidity and lively bubbles on the palate, the wine still settles into your senses and hangs on for a bit: an awesome American Sparkler.
