Champagne Collet
Style, food pairing and serving
Collet Grand Cru Aÿ Collection Privée 2012 is a true French Champagne: a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region by the traditional method of second fermentation in the bottle (méthode champenoise). From a Grand Cru vineyard – the highest-rated sites of the Champagne region; a collector's rarity. A vintage (millésime) Champagne from a single outstanding harvest with longer ageing – for collectors, anniversaries and special dinners.
Serve at 8–10 °C (vintage Champagne at 10–12 °C) in a tulip-shaped glass. With a Champagne stopper a chilled bottle stays fresh for a few days.
Champagne Collet Champagnes are distributed in Hungary by the official representative (Energy4U Kft.): order online from the champagneforyou.hu Champagne shop or buy them in person at the Belle Époque Bar & Boutique in Kecskemét. We organise Champagne tastings for private guests and companies.
