Domaine Carneros Le Reve Carneros Sparkling 1998

Carneros, Napa Valley, California, United StatesLe RĂªve, "The Dream" in French, is Claude Taittinger's dream of using the ideal Carneros growing climate to produce an ultra premium sparkling wine. Look for a fine continuous mousse with floral, citrus, nutty, anise and green apple skin aromas with a touch of toast. The styling is delicate and fresh with very citrus, pear, mineral, floral flavours. The finish is crisp and slightly sweet. Good finesse and balance but a bit short.Tasted: 18 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
