Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé is a méthode traditionnelle California sparkling wine from the prestigious Carneros AVA, a cool-climate appellation straddling Napa and Sonoma counties. Crafted in partnership with the renowned Champagne house Taittinger, this estate wine blends 57% Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay, with its delicate salmon-pink color derived from three days of Pinot Noir skin contact during harvest. The wine is aged for a minimum of three years on the lees before release, developing complexity and a characteristic toasty richness.

On the nose, the wine presents aromas of wild raspberries, strawberries, fresh-cut watermelon, and peaches, accented by subtle floral notes of orange blossom and rose petals. The dry, sophisticated palate offers layered flavors of nectarine, raspberry, and ginger with a warm toastiness from extended lees aging. With a crisp acidity of 0.86g/100ml, a very low dosage of 0.9%, and 12% alcohol by volume, this is a genuinely dry and elegant brut-style sparkling wine.

Rated 92 points by Owen Bargreen (February 2025) and averaging 89 points across 84 CellarTracker community reviews, it pairs beautifully with triple cream brie, grilled salmon, pad Thai, sashimi, and sushi, and is a refined choice for brunch, weddings, and other celebratory occasions.
