Pinot Meunier makes up 85% of this Champagne’s blend rounded out by Chardonnay. Carte d’Or is a blend of young and mature wines aged in oak. The archetypal Moutardier Champagne, this wine highlights the very best of Pinot Meunier.

Tasting Notes:

A lively, pale yellow wine with a hint of gold. The nose is a gentle blend of fleshy, fresh fruit (peaches, apples, and white grapes) along with biscuit, dried fig and orange marmalade aromas.
