2008 le Reve Rose. Brown sugar, cinnamon, floral nose. Violets, strawberry/raspberry, sugar cookie flavors. — 9 years ago
An amazing wine that I regret not purchasing more magnum bottles when I had the chance to drink now and age. Had the 2017 vintage of Le Coteau De Mon Reve. Intense nose of framboise, raspberry, blackberry, olive, anise, ground pepper, violets, forest floor and dark chocolate that ran true on the palate. Full bodied and rich, very smooth long finish. — 4 years ago
Crisp complex notes. Tasty! — 3 years ago
Always 100% Chardonnay, the 2013 ‘Le Reve’ is a tour de force from this storied Carneros house. The mousse here is highly refined. Salted biscuit aromatic tones grab your attention with Meyer lemon zest and shades of wild mushroom and toasted hazelnuts all take shape in the glass. The silly mousse is downright incredible. Bright kumquat zest and sourdough bread tones mingle with macadamia nut and suggestions of white truffles on this complex palate. This is salty and savory California sparkling wine at its best. Beautifully textured, with great length, this stunning new bottling will enjoy a very long life ahead of it. Drink 2020-2035- 95

A little more fruit flavor than the traditional La reve - one of the most balanced and fun champagnes out there — 2 years ago
