Carte d'Or is the iconic cuvée since 1982. The fruity predominance of the Meunier gives this champagne its structure while a hint of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay complete the blend. To ensure a consistent style from year to year and maintain the balance sought, this cuvee includes a high percentage of reserve wines from several harvests (3 to 4 years). These wines are preserved in separate vats and respect the typicalities of each cru and year. This cuvée is aged for a minimum of 4 years.

Available in bottles (75cl) and half-bottles (37,5cl)

88/100 - Bettane+Desseauve
Bright appearance. A floral nose with notes of white and yellow fruits. The palate is balanced, fresh and sapid, with a lovely salinity and a long, elegant, mineral finish, highlighted by subtle red fruit nuances.

88/100 - Decanter
Oxidative kiss to juicy golden apples, lemons and tropical notes; weighty palate delivers spice and fresh acidity.
