Champagne, FranceOwner Lucien Collard comes from long heritage in Champagne, with his ancestors growing wine
since the 17th century. The Collard family settled in Bouzy in 1919 through the marriage of Lucien Collard (grandfather of the current owner of the House) and Julia Bara, she of the Champagne family Paul Bara, who settled in Bouzy in 1833. Lucien Collard and his goddaughter Auriane now create fabulous champagnes from their 2 organic hectares of vines split between Bouzy in Montagne de Reims, and Celles sur Ource in the Aube. This is a blend of 70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay, with at least 3 years on lees, and dosed with 4 g/L. Red apple, white cherry, red liquorice is met with lightly fino-esque oxidation that runs along a chalky, textural palate, finishing with crushed stones. A wine for food.Tasted: 22 April 2024Tasted by: Prices:
