Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Had this NV about three years ago and tried their new batch. The Carte d'Or cuvée has a very high proportion of Pinot Noir, which is “the Drappier style.” Aromas of stone fruit and spice in a light frothy mousse. On the palate peach, plum and raspberry with citrus zest and earthy spice. Nice flow of bubbles lead to a lingering finish ending with toasty notes. From my prior notes very consistent house quality style. Nice!

This is a very accessible Champagne and would likely please most palates for those that aren’t major Champagne nerds. However, there’s also enough there for the Champagne nerd to enjoy. Slightly richer in style but really good balance. A very good NV. Disgorged October 2019
