Champagne Collard-Picard Archives Millésimée 2012

Champagne Collard-Picard Archives Millésimée 2012 is the flagship cuvée from Olivier Collard and Caroline Picard, and it sits confidently among Champagne’s elite. Made without paying for prestige alone, it delivers remarkable depth, purity, and precision, with the kind of structure and elegance that already impresses now and promises even more with age.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this is a refined, expressive Champagne with a vibrant golden hue and a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is layered and inviting, showing fresh apple and pear alongside caramel, brioche, almonds, and a subtle earthy, forest-floor note that adds real complexity. On the palate, it is deep and full-bodied, with the tension and finesse you would expect from Grand Cru fruit, balanced by a very low dosage of just 2g. The absence of malolactic fermentation keeps the wine focused and crisp, while its oak maturation adds texture and breadth. This is a Champagne with excellent aging potential, and while it is already generous and highly enjoyable, it should continue to gain even more nuance over time.

Viininvalmistus
This vintage Champagne is crafted from 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, an area prized for its chalky soils and ability to produce wines of exceptional minerality and precision. The grapes are carefully selected from top sites, and the wine is vinified with no malolactic fermentation and no filtration, preserving freshness, texture, and authenticity. It then spends 30 months maturing in oak barrels before release, with a minimal dosage to keep the style dry and elegant.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Best enjoyed with food, this is a gastronomic Champagne that pairs beautifully with dishes such as lobster, scallops, roast poultry, creamy risotto, truffle dishes, or fine aged cheeses. Serve it at 8–10°C in large white wine glasses to allow the aromas and texture to open fully. Decanting is not essential, but giving it a little time in the glass will help it reveal its full aromatic range.
