Veuve Olivier et Fils — Carte d'Or Sec 2018

Carte d'Or Sec 2018

Veuve Olivier et Fils | Brut Nature | Vintage 2018

The 2018 vintage from Veuve Olivier et Fils shows itself structured, precise, almost business-like. Here we downshift three gears and take it easy.

There are moments when you don't want acidity that makes your cheeks pucker, but something that harmonizes with the food. And let's be honest: What pairs better with a fluffy, caramelized Kaiserschmarrn than a champagne that doesn't fight the sweetness, but elevates it?

The Carte d'Or Sec is exactly this type: extremely juicy and soft thanks to the high Meunier content. It brings this surprising honey note that pairs perfectly with the crust of the Schmarrn. And if you taste carefully at the end, you'll even find a hint of cinnamon in the finish. Who needs vanilla sauce then?

Tasting Notes

Extremely juicy and soft thanks to the high Meunier content, with a surprising honey note and a hint of cinnamon in the finish. Uncomplicated and sweet, ideal with desserts and pastries.
