80% Meunier 20% Pinot Noir
Perpetual Blend 2003-2020
Extra-Brut: 2 g/L dosage

Created by the founder of the house, Eugène Moussé, 100 years ago, this perpetual cuvée is now a nod to the family history. Started in 2003, it was initially called Carte Or, then Or Tradition, then L’Or d’Eugène. The centenary year marks a restructuring of the range with the arrival of Eugène. That perpetual blend,  the base of this cuvée, is made up of reserve wines from 2003-2020, which are refreshed every year with 50% of the new harvest.
