In keeping with the traditional method, we add a small amount of red wine (Pinot Noir) prior to tirage to create the distinctive salmon color with copper hues. The wine’s aroma is rich yet elegant with plum and dark cherry fruit layered over notes of nutmeg and cocoa. A bold, yet refined palate structure characterizes this wine with subtle but persistent flavors of raspberry and French toast.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: A blend of 47% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir and 8% Pinot Meunier, the NV toile Ros is very pale salmon-pink colored and gives notes of wild strawberries, kirsch and preserved lemons with touches of spiced pears and almond croissant. Very finely crafted in the mouth with a wicked line of freshness, it has a nice, long perfumed finish.

• Decanter: A poised wine of some refinement. Sandy scents, stone fruit characters, and lingering almond and floral notes.

Producer Information

Domaine Chandon is a sparkling wine producer located in Yountville of Napa Valley, California. Sourcing fruit from several AVAs within Napa, Chandon focuses on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, made in both still and sparkling styles. Established in 1973, Domain Chandon was created by the Champagne producer Mot and Chandon and businessman John Wright. It was the first time that a sparkling wine house in Napa Valley was owned by the French. The sparkling wines are made with the traditional Champagne method. They range from easy drinking and affordable, such as the Brut Classic and Chandon Ros, to the complex and rich toile Tte de Cuve, only produced in certain vintages. Grapes are sourced from Napas cooler regions including Los Carneros, Mount Veeder, as well as the estate vineyard in Yountville. While sparkling wines are the focus at Domaine Chandon, still wines of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir are also produced. Production is relatively large, and the wines can be found in numerous merchants around the United States and internationally. Domaine Chandon have expanded internationally with wineries located in Argentina, Brazil, China and India with Chandon Australia the most prolific. Domaine Chandon was famous for its Michelin-starred restaurant toile, the only fine dining restaurant located within a winery in Napa Valley. However, after 37 years of business, the restaurant closed its doors in 2014.
