Maison Collery, founded in 1893 in the heart of the Art Nouveau era, has been shaped by generations devoted to crafting exceptional champagne. From the innovative spirit of Jules‑Anatole Collery to the vision of Pierre, Geneviève, Jean, and Alain Collery, the history of the House is a blend of tradition and bold innovation. Remaining true to its historic home in Aÿ, Collery focuses on the finest Grand Cru Pinot Noir grapes and aims to make every champagne tasting an extraordinary and memorable experience. The Aÿ terroir is located near Epernay, on a beautiful hillside at the foot of the Reims mountain, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

NV Brut – Grand Cru is a blend of Grand Cru vineyards, dominated by Pinot Noir and enriched with Chardonnay. The original intent behind this cuvée is typically “Champenois”: to create a harmonious aperitif showcasing the different terroirs and grape varieties of Champagne, all enhanced by the Collery style.

Winemaking

Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations (completed) take place in temperature‑controlled stainless steel tanks. 20% of the blend is aged in 40‑hl casks. Dosage: 7 g/L, based on Chardonnay matured in Sauternes Grand Cru barrels. Aging: at least 48 months in bottle.

Tasting notes

Appearance: deep golden yellow with amber reflections. A fine and dynamic line of bubbles. Nose: richness and aromatic complexity combining notes of fresh pastries, yellow stone fruits (nectarine, mirabelle), and spices (cinnamon), enhanced by a hint of iodine. Palate: a pure citrus attack (mandarin, bergamot) giving beautiful liveliness. The finish is long, fresh, and enriched with slightly peaty notes.
