Domaine Carneros ‘Le Rêve’ Blanc de Blancs

Le Rêve is a classic tête de cuvée – the winery’s finest Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine and frequently named America’s Best. French for “the dream”, Le Rêve is crafted from 100% estate-grown fruit, making it a pure expression of Domaine Carneros. Five distinct clones of Chardonnay impart nuanced aromas and flavours, while five and a half years of ageing in the bottle on the lees has heightened the wine’s richness and complexity.

Beautifully evolved for its age, Le Rêve showcases an array of toasty notes reminiscent of brioche, toasted almond and even crème brûlée. Interwoven with these notes are white flowers, citrus and pear. This stunning combination leads to a very full and round palate. Beautiful with a meaty fish – perhaps a tuna steak with a coriander dressing.
