The production of Carte d'Or Drappier Champagne in half bottles

The Carte d'Or demi-bottle cuvée perpetuates the expertise of the Drappier house, founded in 1808. This champagne is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir, providing structure and intensity, 15% Chardonnay, for elegance and finesse, and 5% Meunier, which adds a touch of roundness. The grapes come from the chalky soils of the Jurassic Kimmeridgian terroirs located in the Aube region, south of Champagne. This specific soil gives this cuvée its distinctive character and fruitiness.

La Carte d'Or is made from the first pressing, renowned for producing pure, delicate juices. Vinification takes place mainly in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness of the aromas, while a small portion of the wine (around 5%) is aged in wood to add complexity. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally, and the blend includes 40% reserve wines, ensuring unique depth and aromatic richness. The final dosage of 6.5 g/l completes the harmony of this demi-bottle cuvée.
