Is California capable of producing a sparkling wine that stands confidently beside Champagne’s elite? In this episode of Sip Me Maybe, we open Le Rêve from Domaine Carneros — the house’s tête de cuvée, crafted from 100% Chardonnay using the méthode traditionnelle.
Think of it as America’s answer to Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs — disciplined, Chardonnay-driven, and built for aging.
But what exactly is a tête de cuvée? Historically, it referred to the finest first-press juice reserved for a producer’s most ambitious wine. Today, it signals the pinnacle bottling of the house — the most selective fruit, longest aging, and clearest expression of vision.
Le Rêve is not a Champagne imitation. It’s Carneros fruit — cool-climate tension, layered texture, and precision — shaped with intention.
In this episode, we uncover Taittinger’s American gem, Domaine Carneros’ philosophy, and see how it scores against the greats. Plot twist? There will be two scoreboards.
If you love Champagne, Blanc de Blancs, Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Dom Pérignon, Cristal, Krug, or American sparkling wine — this is your episode.
Because sometimes, the dream isn’t imported.
Sometimes, it’s grown.
