Champagne Collard-Picard Essentiel Champagne 2015

Champagne Collard-Picard Essentiel 2015 is a striking Brut Nature that combines precision, depth, and a strong sense of terroir. Made from a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, it reflects the warmth of the 2015 vintage in Champagne with impressive clarity and ripeness. With extended cellar ageing and no dosage, it offers a pure, elegant expression of the house style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Champagne shows a deep golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and layered, opening with candied citrus, dried herbs, toasted nuts, and delicate pastry notes, all underscored by a distinct mineral edge. The palate is dry, focused, and intense, with lively acidity and a fresh lift of lime and mandarin peel. Flavours of almond, walnut, honey, and subtle roasted notes add richness and complexity, while the texture remains both vibrant and generous. The finish is long, precise, and lightly saline, with excellent balance and strong aging potential.

Production
Essentiel 2015 is crafted from 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, and 25% Pinot Meunier. Only the heart of the pressing is used, and fermentation takes place with natural yeasts in large oak casks. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve freshness and maintain a taut, clean structure. After tirage in 2016, the wine spent a minimum of nine years in the cellar before release, allowing it to develop remarkable depth and refinement.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is an excellent match for refined seafood, such as scallops, lobster, oysters, or grilled white fish, and it also works beautifully with aromatic dishes, poultry, and light preparations with herbs or gentle spice. Serve chilled at 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary, but allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass can help раскрыte its layered aromas.
