Gaston Chiquet Or Premier Cru (750ML)

From Champagne

Vintage:	2016
Description:	93 Ws / 92 Jd / 92 Vm. Features flavors of pink grapefruit sorbet, mandarin orange peel, pastry cream and pickled ginger that are creamy and finely knit on a satiny mousse. This has accents of chalk, anise and elderflower that linger on the fresh finish. Disgorged December 2022. Drink now through 2030. 95 cases imported. - An, Wine Spectator. The 2016 Champagne Millésime Carte d'Or Brut is 60% Pinot Noir and the remainder Chardonnay. It offers fresh aromas of mango, yellow flowers, bread dough, and pilsner, and the palate is dry and focused on a mineral soft stony texture. I enjoyed this as a savory and food-friendly wine. Drink over the next 10-15 years. - Jeb Dunnuck. The 2016 Brut Millésime Carte d'Or is a very pretty, focused Champagne. The blend is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, yet the Chardonnay really dominates in both its flavor profile and airy, rather lifted feel. White flowers, mint, crushed rocks, lemon peel and a whole range of mineral inflections build into the chiseled, beautifully persistent finish. Superb. Disgorged: December, 2021. -- Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
