Family is their signature champagne and this Carte d’Or is their carte d’excellence. A seven generation grower-producer, this Brut is their gold standard cuvΓ©e. Predominantly from Pinot Noir (80% of the blend which is borderline a Blanc de Noirs), 15% Chardonnay and 5% Meunier from Urville in CΓ΄te des Bar. Champions of the lesser known varietals, low dosage (such as this example at 6.5 g/l), natural organic practices and less is more attitude. Each cuvΓ©e is a member of their family.


Sparkly golden color. Rich aromas of golden fruit (apple and plum), stone fruit, white blossom, almonds, cherries and brioche. First sip and the freshness of the fruit is followed by exotic notes of quince jelly, pastry cream, pastry, brioche, into a spiced ginger, hazelnut and almonds attributed to the 40% reserve wines and 5% of the wines matured in oak casks. The Kimmeridgian soil lends itself to the chalky finish and bright of the blend. The creamy mousse and velvety, elegant complexity makes it a perfect go to for your next holiday event.

I love to pair this champagne with Nova Scotia Smoked Salmon and chive crΓ¨me fraiche blinis. It’s a sublime experience that you must experience my champagne loving friends.
