"Made from equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the 2018 Champagne Millésime Carte d'Or Brut displays a shimmering yellow hue and offers up aromas of pure ripe fruit, with notes of spiced orange, golden peach, black cherry, and fresh biscuit. Ripe and juicy throughout, it's full-bodied, with a refined mousse and a rich mineral texture accented with notes of fresh ginger. This is a very appealing wine with a lot of character from the team at Gaston Chiquet. Drink 2024-2036. Disgorged September 2022."

"The 2018 Brut Millésime Carte d'Or is equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Hautvillers and Dizy. Lemon confit, dried flowers, chamomile, mint and orange peel lend an exotic flair to this attractive Champagne. There is a weightless quality here that I especially admire. Pretty floral overtones lift the finish effortlessly. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: January, 2023."

"A bright, lively Champagne, with a crisp texture to the mousse as it carries flavors of crunchy white peach, blood orange sorbet, slivered almond and licorice. Disgorged January 2023. Drink now. 375 cases imported."
