About the wine:
Notes of candied fruit and spices, with a lingering finish and just the right amount of winey intensity.
About the estate:
In the heart of the Sézanne region, brothers Vincent, Thomas, and Florent Collet have been breathing new life into the family estate since the start of this century, working with the 15 vineyards located around Fontaine-Denis. The wines are well-crafted, and the Anthime line—which is aged in oak—stands out from the rest.

About the estate:
In the early 20th century, the Collet family sold their grapes to wine merchants. René Collet, a member of a wine cooperative, launched his own champagne in 1973. His three sons, Thomas, Vincent, and Florent, took over the business between 2001 and 2011 and decided to produce their own vintages. They own 5 hectares of vineyards in the Sézanne region.

About the wine:
The nose is both classic and very charming. It reveals notes of sea salt and toasted bread, led by juicy pears. The palate is rich, enveloping, and full-bodied thanks to its time in oak. A lively freshness provides a nice structure to the finish.
About the estate:
Domaine Collet has a wonderful history: coming from a modest family of winegrowers and farmers in Fontaine-Denis, René Collet simply decided to launch his own brand in 1973. With the help of a large cooperative, he developed the estate by acquiring and planting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, ideally situated in the Fontaine-Denis region. The early 2000s brought changes: two of Mr. Collet’s three sons joined the company, and a new winery and barrel cellar were built.
