Éric Collinet works in Bragelogne-Beauvoir, a quiet village in the Côte des Bar, where Champagne meets the forests and rolling hills of the Aube. This is the southern edge of Champagne, shaped by Kimmeridgian limestone and Jurassic-era clay, soils more commonly associated with Chablis. It’s a landscape that lends itself to wines of precision and tension, and Collinet farms accordingly—organically, with a deep respect for the land. The vineyards are fully grassed to protect the soil, and agroforestry practices create natural biodiversity, reinforcing the resilience of the vines.

Harvest is done by hand, embracing the communal spirit of the vendange, and the grapes are brought to a cooperative in Les Riceys for vinification. Fermentation happens naturally, aging takes place in neutral barrels, and there’s no fining, filtration, or dosage—just time and patience guiding the wine to its final form.

Collinet’s Champagnes carry the unmistakable imprint of their place—sharp, structured, and mineral-driven, built on clarity rather than opulence. This is Champagne with quiet confidence, a reflection of both the land and the winemaker behind it.
