2021 Domaine Carneros by Taittinger - Napa Brut (750ml)

Our Estate Brut Cuvée is the signature wine of Domaine Carneros. Crafted using exacting méthode traditionnelle techniques and comprised of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from numerous blocks and clones, it is a true epitome of our estate. The tapestry of flavors that result, married with the inherent finesse of the cool Carneros fruit, create wines of depth and complexity that are enhanced by a minimum of three years of bottle age sur lie in the cellar before release. This extra bottle age yields a complex, toasty aroma and fine, pinpoint bubbles.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The initial aromas are fresh and delicate, with powerful notes of stone fruit, honeycomb, and orange peel, followed by white strawberry and cherry blossom, with a touch of brioche. The palate is round and full, revealing fresh pear, ginger, and lemon crisp, leading to a fresh and vibrant finish. This winery exclusive wine has been aged to perfection yet will enjoy additional evolution in the cellar over the next decade.
Vineyard Notes
The 2021 growing season commenced with an early bud break followed by unseasonably cool spring and early summer temperatures, which helped preserve vineyard health as we entered a second year of drought conditions. Summer temperatures were moderated by the marine layer which allowed the grapes to mature slowly and consistently and resulted in wonderful depth of flavor and concentration in the generous harvest.
Winemaker Notes
53% Estate Grown Chardonnay, 47% Estate Grown Pinot Noir
Food Pairing Notes
This 2021 vintage of our Estate Brut can be enjoyed by itself to appreciate the nuanced beauty contained within, or be highlighted with simple accompaniments such as popcorn or goat cheeses, it will also enhance any classic shellfish dish. Our winemaker Zak suggests pairing this wine with lemon garlic and herbs roast chicken, shrimp and grits, or white truffle chips.
