Domaine Carneros Avant Garde Pinot Noir

California elegance with a French twist

This graceful Pinot Noir comes from the heart of California’s cool-climate Carneros region, where Burgundian winemaking know-how meets New World charm. The Avant-Garde cuvée is Domaine Carneros’ expressive and approachable take on Pinot—lively, fruit-driven, and refreshingly refined.

Tasting notes

Lifted aromas of cherry, cranberry and pomegranate lead the way, with subtle hints of rose petal and cinnamon spice. On the palate, it’s silky and precise, with red berry fruit, gentle oak, and soft tannins flowing into a bright, elegant finish.

Perfect serve

Delicious with herb-roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or wild mushroom risotto. This Pinot also shines slightly chilled on its own—perfect for a relaxed evening or as an elegant dinner party pour.

Artisan craftsmanship

Domaine Carneros was founded by the Taittinger family, bringing French finesse to California's Pinot Noir and sparkling wine scene. The Avant-Garde Pinot Noir is crafted from estate-grown grapes, hand-harvested and aged in French oak barrels to bring out finesse, balance and complexity.
