This 100% Chardonnay Champagne is crafted from a carefully selected blend of grapes from two terroirs in Fontaine Saint-Denis. With very little dosage—1 g/L—this extra-brut offers a precise, lively, and mineral-driven wine that reveals beautiful complexity, with notes of brioche, white flowers, and lemon.

Selected Estate (An estate or winery that has impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire lineup)

About the estate:

In the heart of the Sézanne coast, brothers Vincent, Thomas, and Florent Collet have, since the beginning of this century, breathed new life into the family estate, which comprises 15 plots 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 cuvées. They own 5 hectares of vineyards in the Sézannais region.

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 winemaking facility and barrel cellar were built.
