Champagne Collet Brut is the flagship cuvée of Maison Collet — harmoniously combining Champagne’s three main grape varieties: 25–30% Chardonnay for elegance and finesse, 15–20% Pinot Noir for depth and structure, and 50% Pinot Meunier for freshness and rich fruit, with 25% reserve wines for house consistency. Aged a minimum of three years in 100-year-old chalk cellars — well beyond the 15-month minimum — with a dosage of 9.5 grams of sugar per liter.

Since 1921, when Raoul Collet founded the house in Aÿ at the heart of the Champagne region, Maison Collet has been creating Champagnes for connoisseurs who seek authenticity, elegance, and great finesse. Vineyards are based mainly on Premier and Grand crus, with fruit sourced from 850 growers spread across 160 of Champagne’s 320 crus; winemaker Sebastien Walasiak uses no more than 10% of overall vineyard yields to maintain year-to-year style consistency. Some cuvées are matured in barrels from Champagne-appellation oaks.
