Description

For over a century, the Collard family has been cultivating grapes in the prestigious Grand Cru village of Bouzy, where they own a hectare of prime land.

This vintage is a harmonious blend of 20% Chardonnay and 80% Pinot Noir, offering a complex and enticing bouquet of apricot compote, plum crumble and bramble apple. The palate is rich and balanced, with a long and elegant finish. This wine is a perfect match for partridge or sea bass, as it complements their delicate flavours and textures.

Champagne Lucien Collard

The Collard family settled in Bouzy in 1919 through Lucien Collard and Julia Bara, both from renowned winegrowing families. Since then, each generation has managed the Bouzy estate and vineyards for major Champagne Houses. In 2005, Lucien began building a stock of wines for long aging, launched in 2015. That same year, his goddaughter Auriane Denis joined the Maison, bringing fresh energy to continue their shared Champagne legacy.
