Winemaker Notes
This wine captivates from the outset with its soft and delicate salmon pink color, which shines brightly in a perfect limpidity. The effervescence is rich and boasts very fine bubbles which absorb the light and impart an even more vibrant color to the wine. On the nose, the aromas of fresh and delicate red berries emerge, associated with touches of citrus fruits, like pomelos, all wrapped in a cocoon of Viennese pastry. One discovers without any surprise the aromas present on the nose, enhanced by a nice fullness and a perfect balance. Its finish is long and without any roughness, leaving a pleasant impression of this fruit that one loves to crunch.
Louis Pommery California Rosé will be appreciated in all circumstances, be it during an aperitif, to accompany a spring entrée or a salmon steak en papillote on a light drizzle of olive oil and a few drops of lemon. The Sparkling Louis Pommery California Rosé is a perfect pairing for many dishes and in all the moments of life.

This is an elegant, dry wine, offering a copper color, light raspberry aromas, lightly tart flavors and an appetizing, snappy texture. It is great for those who favor balance and crispness in a bottle of fizz.

Distinctively floral, with rose petal and strawberry blossom aromas leading to delicate, crisp flavors that finish with a festive accent. Drink now.
California enjoys a long history and proven reputation as an admirable source of sparkling wines. Agoston Haraszthy, who established Buena Vista Winery in the mid 1850s, first attempted to make traditional method sparkling wine in California in the 1870s. Shortly thereafter Korbel followed, and with great success. Today domestic producers such as Schramsberg, Iron Horse and J. Wine Co remain at the forefront of the market.
Since the 1970s the state has consistently attracted the attention and investment of large and respected European and French-based firms who are responsible for Domaine Chandon, Mumm-Napa Valley, Roederer Estate and Domaine Carneros (Taittinger), to name a few. Anderson Valley and Carneros remain standout regions for top quality Pinot noir and Chardonnay for these.
