Champagne Collard-Picard - Dom Picard Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs
3*Étoile
Hachette
“A cuvée vinified in large oak casks using indigenous yeasts and made from the ‘cœurs de cuvée’—that is, the best pressings from the 2012 harvest. A perfectly executed blend that has yielded a golden color with green highlights, an expressive, refined, and complex nose—still in its early stages of development—featuring white and yellow fruits, pastries, acacia honey, and roasted notes, with a taut and lively palate from the attack to the long finish. A superb champagne for the dinner table. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018). A remarkable Blanc de Blancs from the beautiful and prestigious Grand Cru terroirs of the communes of Oger and Mesnil-sur-Oger!

About the wine:
A cuvée vinified in large oak casks using indigenous yeasts, made from the “cœurs de cuvée”—that is, the finest pressings from the 2012 harvest. A perfectly executed blend that has yielded a golden color with green highlights, an expressive, refined, and complex nose—still in its early stages of development—featuring white and yellow fruits, pastries, acacia honey, and roasted notes, along with a crisp and lively palate from the attack through the long finish. A superb champagne for the dinner table.
About the estate:
In 1996, Caroline and Olivier joined their surnames—Picard and Collard—both in marriage and in the winery. Today, they own a 16-hectare estate in the Marne Valley and the Côte des Blancs—with organically farmed 1er cru and grand cru plots—and, since 2013, a prestigious location in Épernay.
