An eight-vintage blend starting with 2008 and going to 2015, with 65% being reserve wine plus a touch of solera-aged wine. Fermentation is in 72-hl oak casks, and the wines are kept on the fine lees for 12–15 months. 50% Chardonnay mostly from grand cru vineyards (Le Mesnil sur Oger and Oger), 25% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier from the right bank of the Marne Valley (between Épernay and Dormans). Disgorged 3 June 2019. Quite a bit of evolution on the nose. Tense and well balanced with real creamy character. Love the tight bead. Really appetising and energetic. Refined. Nicely assembled. Bravo. No desperate hurry to drink this.

Comprised of only Grand Cru & 1er Cru vineyards is the NV Collard-Picard "Prestige" Brut Champagne. This cuvee of 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 25% Meunier showcases only the best first pressings. Oak aging and 3 years on the lees lends to a bouquet of toasty and red fruit aromatics and a palate that pairs perfectly with almost every holiday occasion.

This is the top of the line in the portfolio of the new Collard-Picard winery. Through their family connections, they have access to some of the best fruit in Champagne. This bottle is wonderful - bright and rich with lovely, high toned flavors over a dense core of yeast and red fruits. Age this forever, or drink it now and love it!

Collard Picard produce such wonderful Champagnes that it would be hard to pick a favorite one. The Prestige is a dry and delicate style Champagne that has lots of flavors packed into its clean and crisp frame. It tastes great alone but will be great with fish or chicken. I even had the Collard Picard Prestige with cheese and really enjoyed it.

Notes

The Collard-Picard "Prestige" Brut Champagne is composed of 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, and 25% Meunier. Made mostly from grand and 1er cru wines, this comprises the best first pressings, benefiting from vinification without malolactic fermentation then aging in oak casks for close to a year. Four different vintages blended together plus three years of aging in the cellar make this exceptionally complex at this price. It has the perfect balance of finesse, fruitiness, and personality.
