Rated estate Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give an overall opinion on the style of the entire range)

About the estate:

In the heart of the Côte de Sézanne, brothers Vincent, Thomas, and Florent Collet have given new impetus to the family estate since the beginning of this century, on 15 plots located around Fontaine-Denis. The wines are well-made, and the Anthime range, which boasts oak aging, stands out from the crowd.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Collet family sold their grapes to wine merchants. René Collet, a cooperative member, launched his champagne in 1973. His three sons, Thomas, Vincent, and Florent, joined the business between 2001 and 2011 and decided to produce their own vintages. They have 5 hectares of vines in the Sézanne region.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Recommended (Recommended)

About the estate:

The story of Domaine Collet is a beautiful one: born into a modest family of winegrowers and farmers in Fontaine-Denis, René Collet simply decided to create 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 located in the Fontaine-Denis area. The early 2000s brought changes: two of Mr. Collet's three sons joined the company, and a new winery and barrel cellar were built.
