The house’s flagship cuvée, the Carte d’Or Brut is a blend dominated by Pinot Meunier, the king grape of the Marne Valley where it thrives. It embodies the Veuve Olivier style: a frank, generous and immediately seductive champagne.

Tasting

Pale-gold robe, fine and steady bubbles. The fresh, fruity nose reveals notes of white fruit and an exotic touch. The palate is round, balanced and pleasantly lively.

Food pairings

Ideal as an aperitif and throughout a light meal: starters, fish and white meats. Serve at 8 to 10 °C.
