Champagne Collard-Picard Essentiel 2012

Champagne Collard-Picard Essentiel 2012 is a precise, terroir-driven vintage Champagne that showcases the purity and structure of a remarkable harvest. Made from 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Meunier, and 25% Pinot Noir, and bottled as Brut Nature, it reflects the character of some of the house’s finest parcels without any added dosage. With its long élevage and extended cellar aging, this is a Champagne that speaks clearly of place, vintage, and craftsmanship.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, Essentiel 2012 shows a luminous golden color with lively brilliance. The nose opens with layers of brioche, toasted nuts, citrus zest, pear, and ripe stone fruit, giving way to a subtle chalky minerality that adds freshness and definition. The palate is dry, clean, and beautifully focused, balancing golden fruit with notes of toasted bread, delicate spice, and a creamy mousse. The finish is long, linear, and mineral-driven, with a firm, saline edge that gives the wine both tension and elegance. Thanks to its structure and depth, it has excellent aging potential and should continue to evolve gracefully over time.

Viininvalmistus
This cuvée comes from select parcels in Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, and the Marne Valley, areas known for their chalk-rich soils and expressive fruit. Only coeur de cuvée is used, highlighting the finest juice from the press, and the wine is aged for eight months in large oak casks before spending more than 12 years on the lees in bottle. The result is a Champagne built with patience, purity, and a strong sense of terroir.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Essentiel 2012 pairs wonderfully with shellfish, refined seafood dishes, and firm cheeses, as well as more gastronomic preparations where a bone-dry Champagne can add lift and precision. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and consider brief decanting only if desired for a broader aromatic expression, though it is not essential.
