Description

The Champagne COLLARD-PICARD has been founded in 1996. It gets its exceptional character in the course of two champagne families which operate two noble terroirs: the right bank of the Marne Valley for the COLLARD branch and the Côte des Blancs for the PICARD family. The ancestral know-how of these real craftsmen has been transmitted for two centuries, from generation to generation. Lending an ear to nature in order to understand and to sublimate her, Olivier and Caroline accompany with smoothness through daily care and an as natural approach as possible (ploughing, grassing, organic fertilizing…). With its address at 15 Avenue de Champagne in EPERNAY, the grower and harvester family company COLLARD-PICARD is guided by an absolute requirement in terms of quality. “More than a family history, a true passion”.

A zero-dosage champagne, the wine is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. Vinification and ageing take place in oak barrels and the wine does not go through malolactic fermentation.

The nose is rich and complex, with notes of candied lemon, apples and a touch of wood. The dry but refreshing palate makes it an ideal champagne to pair with a hot seafood platter.

James Suckling – 92 points

Walnut, sesame, apple crumble, lemon curd and pie crust on the nose. Creamy and tangy with lovely, developed nutty notes. Sleek bubbles. Dry and sharp finish. Dosage 0g/L. Drink now.
