Gaston Chiquet Carte d'Or Brut 2009

Chamomile, lemon confit and dried flowers emerge from this refined blend of 60% Chardonnay from Dizy and 40% Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Ten years after harvest, the wine has reached lovely maturity with subtle almond and pear notes threading through the delicate mousse. Understated elegance defines this Champagne, it whispers rather than shouts, revealing sublime beauty through restraint.
