Champagne Paques Carte Or
Introducing our most popular 100% Estate-Grown Champagne. Fresh, bright, and immediately appealing with scents of yeast and apples. Develops hints of citrus and passion fruit, with a dusky pear blossom hint in the background. A rich, creamy mouthfeel lends presence, but the creamy texture is balanced by crisp acidity, making the wine delightfully easy to drink.
Philippe GirardOur Artisan Winemakers
We select from small family domaines that are making exceptional wines from specific parcels of vineyards. We know each of these winemakers personally, and have tasted every selection presented here. Take a moment to learn more about these artisans and their estates.
A Tasting Idea
The best way to learn what you like is to compare and contrast wines. At a dinner with friends, don’t serve two bottles of the exact same wine, mix it up. Serve two different wines, or different vintages of the same wine, taste them side by side, and you will discover what you like.
