Champagne Collard-Picard Cuvée Prestige Essentiel 2008 Magnum

Champagne Collard-Picard Cuvée Prestige Essentiel 2008 Magnum is a powerful, terroir-driven vintage Champagne made without dosage, allowing the character of the 2008 harvest to shine through with absolute precision. Crafted from a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it combines depth, freshness, and remarkable purity in a magnum format that enhances both development and complexity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright golden hue with a lively, refined mousse. The nose opens with citrus, pear, and stone fruit, layered with brioche, toasted bread, and delicate nutty notes from oak maturation and time in bottle. The palate is dry, structured, and impressively focused, with a rich core balanced by the taut acidity and mineral drive typical of the 2008 vintage. Its long, chalky finish carries energy and precision, and it has excellent aging potential for those who want to cellar it further.

Production
Essentiel 2008 is sourced from some of Collard-Picard’s best parcels in Champagne, with a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, and 25% Meunier. Both fermentation and aging take place in oak barrels, adding texture and subtle complexity before the wine receives additional cellar aging after disgorgement.

Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs beautifully with shellfish, structured fish dishes, and refined preparations with subtle truffle notes. Serve it well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and while decanting is not usually necessary, a little time in the glass can help it раскры its full aromatic complexity.
