Expert Reviews
Elaine Chukan Brown of the Wine Enthusiast writes 94 Points | Flavors of ginger, rose, pomegranate and citrus show on the palate, with racy acidity and a long, creamy finish. A classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this sparkling rosé is poised, refreshing and intriguing. Delicious.

Winemaker Description
More than 250 years ago, Louis XV’s great paramour, Madame de la Pompadour, famously introduced sparkling wine to the court at Versailles. She declared it “the only wine that a woman can drink and remain beautiful,” and today Domaine Carneros’ Pompadour Brut Rosé is named in her honor.
Domaine Carneros harvests estate-grown, green certified Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from its vineyards in Carneros to craft small quantities of this beautifully balanced Brut Rosé. The Pinot Noir juice spends several days in contact with the grape skins in order to extract the lovely color and flavor components. In some years a small amount of estate Pinot Noir wine is added to adjust the color when needed.
