Domaine Carneros LE REVE Blanc de Blanc Sparkling Brut California
Description: In the heart of the Carneros appellation stands the majestic chateau which houses Domaine Carneros winery. Claude Taittinger, president of Champagne Taittinger, traveled in the Carneros as a young man and recognized the potential of this beautiful area to produce world class wines. With the completion of Domaine Carneros in 1989, his dream of a California prestige winery became a reality. Domaine Carneros stands as testimony to Champagne Taittinger's devotion to the creation of fine wines, and is considered the landmark of the region. The 1997 Le Rêve is the sixth in a highly distinguished line of Blanc de Blancs. Its predecessors have repeatedly been rated The best Sparkling Wine in America . This current release is a great successor to these wines and exemplifies the best of our estate-grown chardonnay. This is a luscious wine, round and full-bodied with an exceedingly long finish. The 1997 has aromas of tropical fruit and floral notes of Freesia and honeysuckle. Components of toast, cream and citrus enhance these scents of fruits and flowers creating rich body and complex flavors. The tiny bubbles create a silky texture. The 1997 vintage was a great classic in Carneros. The nights were exceptionally cool followed by foggy mornings and sunny breezy days. A very long ripening period allowed time for fruit flavor development which coalesced in a final sparkling wine of power and elegance. The blend of the 1997 Le Rêve is 100% chardonnay selected from our six different estate-grown clones. It has been aged on the yeast for over five years. The appellation is 100% Carneros, 100% 1997 and 100% estate grown. It is drinking beautifully now but will continue to age and develop for many years. (6 x 75 cl)

Domaine Chante Cigale Chateaneuf-du-Pape Blanc AC
Description: The domaine of Chante Cigale encompasses 40ha along the left bank of the Rhone, between Orange and Sourgues, on a variety of soils which contain a high proportion of 'galets'.

The yield is a quality conscious 32 hectolitres per hectare, this allows the vine to put all its resources into fewer grapes and therefore gives the winemaker the best possible raw material to work with. Fermentation is controlled at 19ºC in temperature contolled stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromatic qualities. This wine is a blend of 30% Roussanne, 30% Clairette, 20% Grenache and 20% Local White Rhone Varietals and it is hauntingly fragrant, reminiscent of almond and peach blossom.

Domaine Rossignol Trapet TEURONS 1er Cru Beaune
Description: Since the 16th century, the ROSSIGNOL family have been winegrowers in Volnay. The TRAPET family were also traditionaly in the wine business; they were originaly set up in Chambolle-Musigny and moved to Gevrey-Chambertin at the end of the 19th century. Recently, 1961 to 1990, Jacques Rossignol with his wife Mado Trapet were both partners in the Domaine Louis Trapet which the activities ceased with the 1989 vintage. By 1990 Jacques Rossignol and his two sons, Nicolas and David subsequently set up the Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, located in Gevrey-Chambertin and owns vineyards in the internationally renowned villages of Beaune, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Morey-Saint-Denis and of course Gevrey-Chambertin. The grapes are exclusively hand-picked and the local pichers come every year and know perfectly how to pick the ripest grapes. When arriving to the harvesting bins, the grapes are again very severely selected. The grapes are put into harvesting bins in the fermentation room, crushed and put into vats.The grapes are destalked between 60 to 80% depending on the year. Pre-fermenting maceration, pumping-over and numerous pigeages also depend on the characteristics of the grapes. The vatting time lasts from 14 to 16 days. Every must is tasted several times a day to decide precisely when decuvage is needed. The Domaine use about 20% new oaks-barrels for each vintage and this proportion of new oak keeps the aromatic finesse and the elegance of the Pinot Noir. In January, generally, malolactic fermentation is finished and the wines are racked. The wines mature slowly in oak-barrels and therefore develop their bouquet and get their stability and structure. Before bottling, wines are slightly fined , and then bottling occurs between 11 and 14 months of barrels maturing. The 2001 vintage has a purple robe, red fruit aromas. An ample wine endowed with a beautiful delicate structure and soft tannins. (12 x 75 cl)
