The 2019 vintage
About the vintage
2019 was accompanied by difficult weather: spring frosts affected the vineyards and the year was punctuated by drought and heatwaves. Even so, the grapes ripened evenly and well across almost all of Champagne. The volume was moderate, but the quality convincing: healthy, fully ripe grapes went to the press.
Colour
Brilliant gold.
Nose
Light and fresh: meringue, praline, violet and stewed fruit.
Palate
Balanced and fresh, with candied citrus and creamy notes.
Food pairing
- Starter – foie gras
- Dessert – sweets
Champagne Collet
Style, food pairing and serving
Collet Origine Demi-sec 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). A demi-sec (medium-sweet) Champagne: its sweeter style suits desserts, fruit, blue cheese and foie gras.
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.
