Collard-Picard — Essentiel 2015

Essentiel 2015

Collard-Picard | Brut Nature | 2015 Vintage

The Essentiel 2015 from Collard-Picard as a companion to Christmas dinner. For many years, it's been turkey, fresh bread dumplings, Brussels sprouts with lemon and guanciale – paired with a rich gravy.

The deliberate choice for a grower champagne instead of a grand marque.

The Essentiel 2015 is a clear contrast: not loud, not opulent, but concentrated and with a quiet strength that fits perfectly with the holiday feast.

Tasting Notes

A structured champagne with prominent acidity that cleanses and retensions the palate. The long lees aging brings depth and composure, the oak barrels lend structure without heaviness.
