NV Stéphane Coquillette 'Carte d'Or' Brut 1er Cru
Champagne, France
Stéphane Coquillette is a fourth-generation winemaker in Champagne. All his wines are small-production - they are characteristically precise, fresh and lively. His “Carte d’Or,” is a masterful blend of four Grand and Premier Crus. Two-thirds Pinot and one-thrid Chardonnay. It is fermented and aged in stainless steel. Goes through ML. Spends at least 3 years on the lees. Dosage is 5g/L. Has a high-toned nose loaded with red fruit, pastry dough, and button mushrooms. In the mouth, it has impressive depth and richness, yet is fresh and linear, with a lingering finish. This is a very clean and precise wine with deceptive layers and complexity. Delightful!
