Claude Cazals Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Carte Or NV

$6799

From Mesnil-sur-Oger's celebrated Grand Cru vineyards, Claude Cazals' Carte d'Or is a 100% Chardonnay expression of the house's philosophy: balance, minerality, and aromatic precision. The blend showcases aromas of ripe citrus, toasted brioche, white flowers, and honeycomb, with a medium to full body that belies Champagne's delicate reputation. On the palate, this is fleshy, lively, and energetic—with good depth, a fine mousse, and a nicely defined finish. Baked pineapple, butter biscuit, and lemon cake. Finesse over flash.

"The latest rendition of Cazals' NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Carte Or was disgorged in June 2019 with eight grams per liter dosage, and it's showing well, offering up aromas of ripe citrus, toasted brioche, white flowers and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, it's fleshy, lively and energetic, with good depth at the core, a fine mousse and a nicely defined finish."

"Chardonnay. So much more development than the Laithwaite's English wines shown alongside! Well bought and a decent price for a biscuity champagne from Le Mesnil. Underpriced in fact!"

"100% Chardonnay. Aromas of baked pineapple cede to a delightful mousse on the palate, with gentle acidity propelling notes of butter biscuit, brioche and lemon cake. Inviting, and fairly long."

More about

The talented Delphine Cazals is a fourth-generation winemaker at Champagne Claude Cazals. Her 10 hectares of biodynamically-farmed vineyards are located in four of the most prestigious villages of the Côte des Blancs: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Vertus, and Villeneuve, all with Premier Cru or Grand Cru status. Bright-white and chalky with Jurassic marine fossils and Kimmeridgian limestone beneath the topsoil, this is Chardonnay terroir most winemakers would kill for.

Cazals' crown jewel, a Grand Cru vineyard in Oger, was purchased by Delphine’s grandfather in 1957 and planted entirely to Chardonnay. In 1995, Delphine successfully petitioned the Comité Champagne to have the vineyard designated a Clos — an accomplishment of which she's especially proud.
