Le Rêve is a highly respected tête de cuvée - winery’s finest Sparkling wine and frequently named America’s Best Sparkling. French for “the dream,” Le Rêve is crafted from 100% estate-grown Chardonnay, making it a pure expression of Domaine Carneros. A perfect nose with lovely notes of white flowers, Meyer lemon, quince, pear and a hint of pineapple with a toasty to slightly smoky aroma. The palate opens up to honeysuckle and Crème brûlée. The full mouth feel leads to a very round and long finish. Delicious now, but there will be additional flavor benefits for those who can wait.

About this sparkling wine
Domaine Carneros Le Reve is a premium sparkling wine from California's renowned Napa Valley, crafted by one of the region's most respected producers. Founded by the legendary Champagne house Taittinger, Domaine Carneros brings Old World expertise to New World terroir, creating elegant sparkling wines that rival their French counterparts. Le Reve represents the pinnacle of the estate's sparkling portfolio, showcasing the versatility and complexity of Chardonnay grown in Napa Valley's prime vineyard sites.
This sparkling wine displays the signature characteristics of quality California Chardonnay: vibrant citrus and green fruit notes with subtle tropical undertones, complemented by toasty, smoky minerality and a long, refined finish. At 12% ABV, it strikes an ideal balance of richness and freshness, making it as approachable as it is sophisticated. The wine's structure and acidity make it exceptionally food-friendly, pairing beautifully with shellfish, crab, and lobster, while also complementing lighter fare such as goat cheese, fresh herbs, and aromatic vegetable-forward dishes. Whether served as an aperitif at a villa gathering or paired with fine dining, Le Reve embodies the elegance and precision Domaine Carneros is known for.
