More Than a Family Story — A Passion

Champagne Collard-Picard is a proudly independent Récoltant-Manipulant house, founded in 1996 and carried by the 5th and 6th generation of the Collard family: Olivier, Caroline, and Alexandre. With deep family roots across two iconic Champagne identities, Collard-Picard represents something rare — a modern grower house built on generational know-how, with a sharp commitment to quality at every step. Producing around 90,000 bottles per year, the estate is now shared across 25+ countries, balancing French heritage with a global presence.

Food Pairings

This is a champagne with real edge—perfect for pairing with savoury, umami-driven dishes. Think charcuterie, roast pork, or duck. The subtle salinity also makes it a brilliant match for oysters or seafood with a touch of richness.

Technical Notes

Crafted entirely from Meunier, this cuvée pays tribute to René Collard, a pioneer of the variety. Sourced from the clay-limestone soils of the Vallée de la Marne’s right bank, it blends 50% reserve wines (2013–2015) with 50% from the 2017 harvest. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in large oak barrels, followed by around 12 months ageing on fine lees. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve tension. Bottled in March 2018 and aged for a minimum of seven years before release, this is a deeply expressive and structured champagne.
