The Carte d’Or cuvée is the very expression of the Drappier style. With 80 to 90% of Pinot Noir, 5% of Pinot Meunier and 5 to 15% of Chardonnay, one can almost taste a Blanc de Noirs. It is rich gold, even coppery gold in colour. No technique of vinification is al lowed to alter the natural colour of the cuvée. On the nose, the bouquet of sweet briar, quickly gives way to the aromas of stoned fruits, such as the white peach of the vines. A spicy hint announces a powerful and complex impact in the mouth. On the palate the ensemble is immediately vinous, dominated by ripe fruits: peach, apricot and red fruits.

The natural freshness is only lightly clothed by a discreet dosage, ensuring a finish of great length. As it continues to mature, the Carte d’Or wil l surprise you with notes of gingerbread, preserved fruits and Viennese pastries. The yel low and gold label, created in 1952, is the distintive sign of a rich, delicious, beautifully fresh cuvée.
