For the Champagne Brut Millésime Collet, the must was fermented in French oak from local forests in the Champagne region. Following the Champagne Brut Millésime Collet alcoholic fermentation, 64% of the wine was aged in small oak barrels, also originating from Champagne forests; prior to being blended. This millésime was bottle aged for a minimum of seven years in the very heart of the historic limestone cellars, which are centuries old.
The Chardonnay comes from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs: imparting softness from Oger and Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger, richness of Avize and elegance from Chouilly and Cramant. The Pinot Noir contributes richness and opulence from iconic Grands Crus such as Aÿ, Louvois, Mailly-Champagne, Verzy and Verzenay. The two Premiers Crus of Hautvillers and Tauxières-Mutry finish off this extraordinary blend.
