2019 Late Disgorged Brut

In Champagne, before a méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine earns the right to feature its vintage on the label, it must be aged in the bottle for a minimum of three years. Our Late Disgorged Brut goes well beyond that strict requirement with a total of six years aging sur lie en bouteille - on the lees, in the bottle. The result is an enhanced, enriched edition of our acclaimed Domaine Carneros Brut Cuvée. We love this wine now, but know it has exceptional further aging potential.

Tasting Notes

A select blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this wine displays all the intricacy and harmony of our Carneros estate fruit. Intense aromatics of lemon zest, pie crust, and yellow nectarine interlay with D'Anjou pear, almond skin, and orange blossom. The palate is bright and textured with citrus, stone fruit, and spice, lifted through the vibrant mid-palate and carrying through a rich, supple finish. Extended aging prior to disgorgement rewards us with remarkable power and depth.
