Champagne Collet: a house anchored in history
Champagne Collet - house of Aÿ Grand Cru, founded in 1921
Champagne Collet is a champagne house founded in 1921 in Aÿ Grand Cru, renowned for its gastronomic champagnes.
Born in 1921 in Aÿ Grand Cru, in the wake of the 1911 Champagne revolt, the Champagne Collet house makes gastronomic champagnes from Premier and Grand Cru terroirs, with an assertive Art Déco identity, to discover direct on Avenue des Vins.
An emblematic house founded in 1921. Founded in 1921, Champagne Collet is one of the emblematic houses of Champagne, located in Aÿ Grand Cru, a village considered one of the historic cradles of champagne.
Its history is intimately linked to a major event: the 1911 Champagne revolt, a movement meant to defend the authenticity of the wines of Champagne. From this collective will was born a committed house, heir to one of the oldest unions of growers in the region.
This heritage contributed to the official recognition of the AOC Champagne in 1936 and still inspires the house's philosophy today:
To make precise, authentic champagnes faithful to their terroir.

A know-how inherited and perfected
As early as 1928, under the impulse of Raoul Collet, the house stood out for a modern and ambitious vision. A pioneer in communication, he launched the first advertising campaigns and contributed to the international reach of Champagne Collet.
This spirit of innovation is still found today through a strong identity inspired by Art Déco: elegant labels, refined gift boxes and the unique atmosphere of the Villa Collet in Ay.
But beyond the aesthetics, the essential remains the wine.
For more than a century, the house has made gastronomic champagnes, designed to accompany both the aperitif and the most refined dishes. Sourcing from Premiers Crus and Grands Crus guarantees exceptional grape quality and great aromatic richness.
Exceptional champagnes, reflections of the Champagne terroirs
The Champagne Collet style rests on the blend of the three great grapes of Champagne:
Pinot Noir for structure
Chardonnay for freshness and finesse
Pinot Meunier for roundness and fruit
Each cuvee thus expresses a balanced, elegant vision of champagne.
The range notably includes:
Brut Origine
Brut champagne - signature cuvee
Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru
100% Chardonnay - Premier Cru
Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru
Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier - Premier Cru
Brut Rose
Rose champagne
Extra Brut Art Déco
Extra Brut - Art Déco signature
Vintage champagnes
Vintage cuvees, for ageing
Esprit Couture
Exceptional cuvee, vintage
On the nose as on the palate, the wines reveal aromas of white fruits, citrus, red fruits, fresh butter and white flowers, with an always precise and harmonious signature.

What is the difference between Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noirs?
A Blanc de Blancs is made only from white grapes (Chardonnay), for a fresh, fine champagne. A Blanc de Noirs comes from black grapes (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier) vinified as white, for a more structured and vinous champagne.
What is a gastronomic champagne?
A gastronomic champagne is designed to accompany a meal, from the aperitif to the most refined dishes, and not only for the toast. The Champagne Collet style, precise and harmonious, lends itself particularly well to this.

Serve champagne well chilled, between 8 and 10 °C. For the vintage and exceptional cuvees, a slightly higher temperature (10 to 12 °C) reveals more of the aromatic complexity.
How long can a Collet champagne be kept?
Non-vintage bruts are best enjoyed within two to three years to make the most of their freshness. Vintage champagnes and exceptional cuvees such as Esprit Couture can be cellared for several years, away from light and lying down.
