Lucien Collard Extra Brut Champagne

Producer: Lucien Collard Region: Bouzy, Champagne, France Variety: 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay Color: White Bottle Size: 750ml  Tasting Notes: The first thing you will notice about this cuvée is its stunning freshness. The hint of chardonnay brings a wonderful elegance, while the Pinot Noir reveals structure in this wine and gives it a lasting aftertaste.  Pairing: This is a really flexible champagne that can be used as an aperitif, but also can be paired with meals ranging from fish tacos to chicken dishes with cream sauces.  Producer Info: Owner Lucien Collard comes from a deep rooted heritage in the region of Champagne, France. His ancestors have been growing wine in Bouzy since the 17th century. In 1919, Lucien Collard, the grandfather and namesake of the current owner, wed Julia Bara, daughter of the established grand cru champagne-making family Paul Bara. This union gave birth to a true family tradition of passing the vineyard from father to son with their own wine-growing legacy. Lucien’s cuvées have been created with an ambition and passion to share his vision of an exceptional champagne. In the summer of 2022, I had the pleasure of bringing a group of Bubbles Club members to have lunch Lucien at his champagne house in Bouzy, and can attest to the fact that his love of champagne is unparalleled by anyone else I have ever met and his commitment to creating champagnes of the highest caliber is genuine. His vineyards are certified organic and all hand harvested, which is not surprising as he truly is a man of integrity in every area of producing his champagne. **PLEASE NOTE** * Signature is required for all wine deliveries and must be 21yrs+
