Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé Cuvée de la Pompadour

Madame de la Pompadour, who famously introduced sparkling wine to the court at Versailles, declared it “the only wine that a woman can drink and remain beautiful.” So it’s only fitting to make Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé Cuvée de la Pompadour your go-to drink while watching “The Bachelorette” each Tuesday night. I must admit that the combination of reality TV and a delicious bubbly is my ultimate guilty pleasure. Is there anything better than watching people fall in love with a beautifully balanced brut rosé in hand? If it’s your turn to host the Bachelorette Tuesday watch party, be sure to serve delicious fresh berries, which pair perfectly with this rosé. And when you ask your friends if they will accept this rosé, I can guarantee the answer is yes!

ORIGIN

Carneros, Napa, CA

Grapes

72% Pinot Noir, 28% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

The wine’s aroma, delivered on a delicate mousse, hints at wild strawberry, raspberry, peach, apricot, honeysuckle and exotic spices. Despite what its color may suggest, it is a true Brut – completely dry. And while Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé is enjoyable at a young age, it will also gain wonderful complexity with aging.

Food Match

Exceedingly food-friendly, pairs well with salmon, and fresh berries.
