Dom Carneros Cuvee De La Pompadour Brut Rose
| Description: | Cuvee de la Pompadour Brut Rose celebrates the life and times of Madame de Pompadour (the great courtesan and mistress of Louis Xv) who is credited with introducing Champagne to the French royal court and is famed for her comment, "Champagne is the only wine a woman can drink and remain beautiful. This edition is based on the 2017 vintage and is a blend of 59% Pinot Noir and 41% Chardonnay. The following review is right on target:. Connoisseur's Guide 91 Points - "59% Pinot Noir; 41% Chardonnay. If by no means lacking in the yeasty richness of defined champenization, the current Cuve de la Pompadour takes its lead from exuberant, fresh cherry fruit and shows off its solid Ros credentials with a fine sense of vinosity and a bit of extra palatal weight. It is rich, full and foamy with a decidedly creamy, very long-lasting mousse, and its ample flavors are free of evident sweetness. It will work famously with food owing to the slight finishing grip expected of its genre, but it is never outwardly astringent and is thoroughly enjoyable on its own.". Founded by the Taittinger family of Champagne, Domaine Carneros sparkling wines express their noble French heritage with pure California panache. The Nv Dom Carneros Brut Rose is foamy and full on the palate with a lovely mix of fresh cherries, cream and soft-spoken yeast running its considerable length. |
