Description
In a nutshell:
A rich and soft Traditional Method Californian sparkling wine made by Champagne Taittinger.
The lowdown:
Founded in 1987 in the Carneros wine region of California, that straddles both the Sonoma and Napa Valleys, by Claude Taittinger of the eponymous Champagne house, Domaine Carneros has set the standard for Methode Traditional quality sparkling wine in this region. Working to very high environmental and sustainable practices Carneros consistently produce excellent sparkling wines made from their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards. The blend changes slightly every vintage with the 2017 comprising just over half Pinot Noir and most of the rest Chardonnay (with a very small amount of Pinot Gris as well for this one) and is typically rich and full-bodied. Peach, lemon, almond, toasty and honeyed notes on the palate balanced by fresh acidity and with fine bubbles, this is a fantastic, highly rewarding Champagne alternative from California.
92/100 - Wine Spectator, 91/100 - James Suckling
When to drink:
Try with goats cheese, oysters and seafood in general, poultry based dishes, or with Asian cuisine.
Suitable for Vegans
