Domaine Carneros by Taittinger Rose Cuvee de la Pompadour

Domaine Carneros by Taittinger Rose Cuvee de la Pompadour

Cuvée De La Pompadour, a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, is aged 18 months in-bottle sur lie and has a 0.9% dosage. It bursts with zesty pink grapefruit and vibrant, fresh crunchy cherries. Notes of vanilla pastry cream, honey, and perfectly balanced toasted brioche and flint create a delightful finish. I adore this wine. When Domaine Carneros’ pioneering winemaker Eileen Crane retired in 2020, I feared change, but this remains as fabulous as ever—consistent, familiar, and truly la vie en rose.

Exciting aromas of gingerbread, grapefruit, caraway, pear skins and crushed almonds. Hints of salted caramel and pie crust. Medium-bodied, with beautifully integrated bubbles and delicious spicy pastry notes. Long and flavorful.

94 Wine Enthusiast

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.
