50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier, from different vineyards in Collard-Picard (notably the Côte des Blancs Grand Cru plots for Chardonnay and the Marne Valley Pinot Noir/Meunier). Perpétuelle is produced in a way that preserves the natural acidity and elegance: fermentation takes place without malolactic fermentation, much of the wine is aged in large oak barrels, and then left to rest on the lees for a long time before bottling - usually at least 4 years.

In aroma and taste, Perpétuelle is characterized by pure, concentrated aromas of lemon and fruit, combined with brioche/pâtisserie nuances, subtle minerality and clean, elegant acidity. The bubble texture is fine and consistent, and the aftertaste is long-lasting, showing the charm of aging on the lees and the composition of many years of reserves.

About the manufacturer

A family story that began in the Marne Valley, where viticulture has been passed down from generation to generation. The Collard family had long grown grapes and supplied them to the great Champagne houses, but only at the end of the 20th century did they decide to take an independent path. When the Collard and Picard families merged, the ambition was born to create not a mass, but a very personal Champagne - one that would reflect their own vineyards, handwork and timeless elegance. This is a small but very conscious family farm, where the most important thing is not quantity, but character and continuity.
Their philosophy is based on patience, respect for time and the life of the vineyard. Collard-Picard believes that good Champagne is born first in the vineyard, so great attention is paid to the soil, balanced harvest and natural ripening. In the cellar they prefer slow, precise work: long maturation, accumulation of reserve wines. Their wines are never noisy or aggressive - it is a Champagne that speaks calmly, delicately, but very confidently, showing the family's attitude: true quality is born when there is no rush and time is allowed to do its work.
