Why Barbora Loves It

Sandrine Charpentier-Olivier leads a small family producer in the world of grower champagne, seamlessly blending tradition with modernity. Nestled in Trélou-sur-Marne in the Valee de la Marne, their vineyards predominantly showcase the Meunier grape, complemented by small amounts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, spread across 21 distinct plots. Each plot is vinified separately, honouring the unique terroir of the region.

The Carte D’Or Brut, a signature cuvée, predominantly features the distinctive Meunier grape (also known as Pinot Meunier), imparting a light spicy note to the nose. Through a meticulous blending process, recent harvest fruits are harmoniously combined with older reserve wines, enhancing the complexity and creating a luxuriously rich mouthfeel.

Sandrine's commitment to quality and her careful attention to detail shine through in each bottle, making their champagne a beautiful celebration of both heritage and innovation.
