Product Description
Drappier's Carte d'Or represents the pinnacle of their winemaking philosophy, showcasing a masterful composition dominated by Pinot Noir that approaches the elegance of a Blanc de Noirs. This refined Champagne captivates with delicate notes of white peach and stone fruits, followed by subtle spice that gives way to a layered, nuanced palate. Distinctive quince jelly undertones add complexity and character to this vinous expression. Versatile and sophisticated, it serves beautifully as an aperitif or pairs gracefully with poultry, seafood preparations, and creamy cheeses like Chaource. Blend: 75% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay, 10% Meunier.

Wine AdvocateAs always, the NV Brut Carte d'Or is a classic, well-executed and perfumed Champagne. It evokes aromas of white peach, ripe orchard fruits, pastry and spices. Medium-bodied, round and enrobing, it's delicately vinous and framed by an elegant mousse, with a lovely, mouthwatering, ripe orchard fruits-inflected finish. This blend of 80% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier was disgorged with 6.5 grams per liter dosage.
Grape Variety
Non-Vintage Chamapgne
Champagne Non-Vintage (NV) Champagne is the region’s signature style and represents the majority of bottles produced, designed to deliver a consistent house character year after year rather than reflect a single harvest. Producers achieve this by blending wines from multiple vintages—often including a portion of reserve wines—along with the classic grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. NV Champagnes are typically fresh, balanced, and approachable, showing flavors of green apple, citrus, pear, brioche, and subtle toast, with lively acidity and fine bubbles. Aged longer on lees than most sparkling wines outside Champagne, NV bottlings offer impressive complexity and reliability, making them ideal both as an aperitif and for pairing with a wide range of foods. 🥂
