2018 Le Rêve Rosé

Available for a brief time each holiday season, this gorgeous rosé is an elegant showstopper. More than any of our other sparkling wines, it reflects the vintage as expressed in a few distinguished blocks of our best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Using our tête de cuvée Le Rêve Chardonnay as a base, this delicate and refined wine is created by adding two different Pinot Noir components: classic base wines without skin contact and base wines that undergo maceration for a few days for color extraction. This brief skin contact is essential to the delicate fruitiness and soft coral hue. As with our Le Rêve Cuvée family, this méthode traditionnelle rosé enjoys six years of aging before release. The treasured wine that results from years of dedicated winemaking is unparalleled in its refinement and elegance.

Tasting Notes

The alluring nose brims with strawberry, pluot, rose petals, orange blossom, and a hint of brioche. The palate unfolds seamlessly - red raspberries, peach, white cherry, and fresh baked bread - sailing on bright acidity, finishing long and round with hallmark Carneros minerality. This wine shows its pedigree from our Le Rêve Cuvée, with elegant structure revealing itself behind the fruity entry.

A gift to cherish, savor this wine on its own, or with the finest caviar, rich cheeses, peach salad, or duck with orange glaze. Our winemaker Zak Miller suggests enjoying this vintage with a sausage ravioli or salmon with mango salsa.
