"The 2019 Champagne Premier Cru Millesime Or Brut pours a bright golden/yellow color and has a clean, elegant feel. It's very fresh, with notes of pineapple, fresh candied pineapple, and hints of red berries underneath, offering lots of clarity and focus. Medium-bodied, it has tension, with elegant hints of creaminess and a stony texture that forms the backbone of the wine. (At a second tasting in New York, it also displayed a hint of warming spice, with nice, structured balance.) Refined and silky, it's great now, but I think it will be even better with a bit more time " it just has so much potential to cruise over the coming decades. Drink 2027-2045. A blend of equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they don™t make this wine every year. Disgorged in October 2024 with 3 grams per liter dosage."

"The 2019 Carte d'Or Premier Cru is laced with orange confit, tropical fruit, exotic white flowers, mint and sweet spice. This is an especially generous, almost flamboyant Champagne, and yet all the elements are very nicely balanced. Pretty floral top notes lift the finish. Disgorged: October 2024."

"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."
