The Maison Collard-Picard, founded in 1996 by Olivier Collard and Caroline Picard, is a contemporary Champagne House that focuses on traditional techniques. The winery is located in Villers-sous-Châtillon, in the Vallé de la Marne, overlooking the valley. The wines produced by the winery do not undergo malolactic fermentation, thus guaranteeing their freshness and longevity. This practice, although uncommon in Champagne, is used by Collard-Picard to ensure the long-term expressiveness of its wines. The house's champagnes are known for their strong connection to the land and the distinctive character imparted by the Pinot Meunier grape. Collard-Picard champagnes are characterised by a combination of noble vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne and the prestigious terroir of the Côte des Blancs, where chardonnay is the dominant grape. The winery's approach is gentle and nature-oriented, with the aim of maintaining a harmonious relationship with the environment. The result of these factors is a high level of excellence in the wines.
