Domaine Carneros Le Reve Carneros Sparkling 2004
Carneros, Napa Valley, California, United StatesI'm a sucker for Blanc de Blancs sparkling wines and when they call Le RĂªve, well, it's practically a slam dunk. Winemakers Eileen Crane and Claude Taittinger are the brains behind this chardonnay that has tiny amounts of pinot blanc added to it once and a while. Expect an electric experience with crisp citrus flavours, spiced brioche, baked pear and lightly toasted hazelnuts. Long persistent and stylish thanks to a full 6 years ageing prior to release.Tasted: 28 April 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $75.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
