History
Champagne Collet Brut Vintage Collection Privee is crafted with three main grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Champagne Collet’s vineyard sources are in Premier and Grand Cru villages that reflect the diversity of Champagne’s terroirs. The fruit comes from a vast majority of growers. However, winemaker Sebastien Walasiak uses no more than 10% of the overall vineyard yields. The grapes are gently pressed at stations in each vineyard within one hour of being hand harvested so that the clarity of the must is not compromised. Next, an indigenous, natural primary fermentation takes place at the winery. Sebastien blends the base wines of the classic Champagne varieties from hundreds of vineyards and vintages to maintain Champagne Collet’s incomparable house style. The cuvées are bottled with a bit of sugar and yeast for the second fermentation, or ‘prise de mousse.’ After disgorgement, the bottles are aged in 100-year-old chalk cellars resulting in softer wines needing less dosage. Some cuvées are matured in barrels from oaks grown in the appellation.
Please drink responsibly, you must be at least 21 years of age to drink alcoholic beverages.
