Brut Gold

The Brut Gold, known in-house as the Ace of Spades, blends 40 per cent Pinot Noir, 40 per cent Chardonnay and 20 per cent Meunier from three different vintages. It was created at Cattier, and the brand also became famous through the rapper JAY-Z. In the glass it shines golden yellow. The nose offers peach, apricot and red fruit, then orange blossom and a hint of brioche. On the palate it is fruity and vinous, with pastry notes developing as it goes.

Serve it at 8 to 10 degrees in a wide white wine glass that gives the aromas room. It goes with poultry, seafood and mature hard cheese just as well as it works as a festive aperitif. It is ready to drink now, but in the cellar it can develop its character further.
