Collard-Picard Racine

Collard-Picard Racine Blanc de Noirs is a precise, expressive Champagne from a hands-on, family-run house. Crafted from dark-skinned grapes, it emphasizes red-fruit energy with a mineral backbone, and a refined, persistent mousse. Bright acidity keeps it bright as an aperitif, while its nuance supports seafood, charcuterie, and soft cheeses. A few years of cellaring can deepen its complexity.Tasting notes- Appearance: Pale straw to light gold with fine, continuous bubbles.- Nose: Red berries (raspberry, strawberry), touches of cherry, citrus zest, almond, and subtle brioche; clean mineral undertones.- Palate: Light to medium body, crisp acidity, flavors of red fruit, citrus rind, and a hint of brioche; refined mousse and a focused, mineral mid-palate.
