Description
The Carte d’Or cuvée is the very expression of the Drappier style. With its very high proportion of Pinot Noir, one is almost tasting a Blanc de Noirs. Champagne with a fine aromatic richness, it opens with aromas of stoned fruits such as white vineyard peach. A spicy hint announces a powerful and complex palate. A vinous Champagne of lovely complexity with a characteristic note of quince jelly.Serving: Ideal as an aperitif. At the table it goes with white meats, rolled fish fillets, Chaource cheese.

There’s a snappy feel to this appealing, aperitif-style Champagne, with a creamy mousse, plus notes of black cherry, poached pear, toasted almond and candied ginger. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now. 6,000 cases imported.

This well-balanced nonvintage Champagne from this major producer in the Aube region is dominated by Pinot Noir, giving rich character and structure. Red apple and ripe melon flavors mean everything is in place, making for a wine that is deliciously ready to drink.

The NV Brut Carte d’Or, 80% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay and 5% Meunier, is a delicious entry-level wine with excellent depth and definition. The broad shoulders of the Pinot come through in the wine’s rich, expansive core of red fruits and long, creamy finish. Disgorged: October, 2009 Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.
