A stunning glass of fizz for this price point! I'll take this all day everyday over a supermarket Champagne of the same price.
Summed up nicely in this press reviews: “A stunning grower champagne full of baked apples, toast, brioche, citrus and cream thanks to six years on the lees. This is how fine champagne should be and how chic and in-the-know to serve it rather than one of the ubiquitous Grandes Marques, or supermarket fare” Jonathan Ray - The Spectator
A grower Champagne, which means that all of the fruit was seen through from vineyard to bottle, step one for great quality, characterful wines. This is packed with citrus fruit, orange blossom mingling beautifully with baked apples and the mouth-watering scent of fresh bread and brioche from a whopping six years on the lees..
Really vibrant and well-balanced on the palate, with fabulous soft bubbles, bright acidity and long, savoury finish. So moreish! Great as an aperitif, with food, at a party and as a celebratory glass - it ticks all the boxes. Carte d'Or is kept in their cellar for 6 years before disgorgement. I cannot think of many white wines or red, that are kept in the cellar that long before release.
The Details:
Country: France
Region: Champagne
Style: Complex, toasty, dry, savoury, moreish
Grape: Predominately Pinot Meunier
Abv: 13%
