Crafted from 100% Chardonnay in the 1.2-hectare Les Pierrières plot with chalk and silex soils, it’s hand-harvested, naturally fermented in oak, and aged 36 months on lees. Disgorged in 2015 with minimal dosage, it reflects the region’s unique terroir with a pale golden hue and refined precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eWinemaking Process\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCollin’s commitment to biodynamic practices defines this Champagne.
