2009 Michel Arnould "Carte d'Or" Brut Champagne This is tannic for theBeautiful old vine bubbles that won't break the bank. Count me in! This blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay shows notes of Flintstones chewables (yes, I am serious) and citrus on the nose. On the palate, red berries and lemon curd are the prominent flavors that lead into a dry and chalky finish. This wine will be showing better with a few more years of bottle age, but it's obvious that this is a very high quality wine.
