Olivier Collin is considered one of the most striking representatives of the new generation of Champagne winemakers. All of the estate's cuvees are created exclusively from single vineyards, fermented in oak barrels and intended to convey the character of each terroir as precisely as possible. Les Pierrieres was the first vineyard that the winemaker brought back under family management in 2003, and today it is this cuvee that is considered the estate's calling card. Les Pierrieres 2017 is produced exclusively from Chardonnay from the Les Pierrieres vineyard of about 1.3 ha. Old vines planted on chalk and flint soils shape a wine with pronounced minerality. Fermentation takes place in old oak barrels, after which the champagne is aged for 48 months on the lees, without filtration and with minimal dosage (about 1.7 g/l).

  • Compatibility

    The mineral style of this champagne pairs perfectly with oysters, sea urchin, scallop carpaccio, white fish crudo, ceviche, halibut and young goat cheeses. Thanks to its pronounced saline minerality and long ageing on the lees, it also accompanies dishes with light cream sauces beautifully, without losing its freshness.

  • Color

    Pale golden colour with a fine, persistent perlage.

  • Scent

    The deep, multi-layered nose opens with shades of candied citrus, lemon zest, spring flowers, almond paste and custard. With aeration, notes of fresh pastry, wet stone and light smoky nuances appear.

  • Taste

    An elegant champagne with a silky texture and expressive acidity. On the palate, shades of lemon zest, ripe apple, yellow fruit, almond and buttery pastry intertwine. The long finish is distinguished by a vivid saline minerality, energy and exceptional purity.
