Drappier is one of the oldest Champagne houses, dating back to 1808, and is known for its commitment to sustainability and minimal intervention winemaking. Carte d'Or Brut is composed primarily of Pinot Noir (80%), with smaller amounts of Chardonnay and Meunier. The grapes are sourced from estate-owned and sustainably farmed vineyards in the Côte des Bar. Fermentation occurs with minimal sulfur use, and a significant portion of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, adding richness. Aged on lees for at least three years, this Champagne develops complexity while maintaining freshness.

Seared Scallops with Lemon Butter – The wine’s acidity cuts through the buttery richness of the scallops, while the citrus notes enhance their delicate sweetness.

Smoked Salmon Blinis with Crème Fraîche – The Champagne’s crisp bubbles complement the silky texture of smoked salmon and the tangy freshness of crème fraîche.

Truffle Popcorn – A playful pairing where the toasty brioche notes in the Champagne match the earthy truffle flavors.

Roast Chicken with Herbs & Garlic – The wine’s structure and finesse enhance the dish’s savory, aromatic flavors.

Brie & Fig Crostini – The creamy texture of Brie and the sweetness of figs pair beautifully with the Champagne’s fruit and nutty undertones.
