Champagne Collard-Picard ADN Blanc de Noirs

Characteristics:
Elegant, fresh, and dry Champagne made from 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Pinot Meunier grapes from the Vallée de la Marne. Collard-Picard shows respect for nature and the essence of Champagne: natural fermentation, long aging (12 months) in oak barrels, a blend of 4 different harvests with at least 60% reserve wine, and a minimum of 7 years of rest in the cellars. Extra brut due to a very small dosage. Brilliant gold with fine bubbles. Aromas of ripe fruit, cherries, and biscuit. On the palate, minerality and complexity, lovely fleshiness with red fruit, toasted bread in the finish. A delightful glass of Champagne to enjoy!
