Drappier Carte d’Or Brut NV is a vibrant and expressive Champagne that highlights the richness of Pinot Noir (75%) balanced with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Crafted with minimal intervention—including gravity-fed pressing, full malolactic fermentation, and low sulfur use—it reflects Drappier’s commitment to purity and sustainability. Aged partially in oak, it delivers a golden hue and complex layers of ripe stone fruit, quince, spice, and a gentle pastry note, all lifted by a fine mousse and balanced dosage (~7 g/L). With its generous yet refined profile, it pairs beautifully with white meats, firm fish, and soft cheeses, making it a versatile and polished choice for both aperitif and table. A Champagne with heritage, depth, and distinction.
