Champagne Collard Picard Archives Vintage 2012

Deriving from the Cœurs de Cuvée from the 2012 harvest of the terroirs of the Côte des Blanc (Grand Cru) and the Vallée de la Marne, this cuvée is vinified and matured in oak barrels for 18 months, without malolactic fermentation or filtration, after the fashion of our ancestors. In the Champagne tradition of centuries past, a cork stopper with staple is put in place upon bottling, and will be kept throughout the entire aging on racks, enabling micro-oxygenation of the wine, to help guarantee long conservation, This cuvée d’exception can be consumed right now, but can also be aged for many more years in the calm and darkness of a temperature cellar. It will satisfay the greatest champagne aficionados with its mix of finesse and powerfull flavours.
