Collet Esprit Couture 2014
The hand-made prestige cuvée of Maison Collet is a sparkling interpretation of Haute Couture.
Esprit Couture is a celebration of tradition, crafted entirely by hand from start to finish and composed of only the finest crus. This elegant champagne is based on wine-making traditions and techniques handed down through generations. This champagne epitomizes the philosophy and style of the wine-producers, an association of connoisseurs' and craftsmen.
Esprit Couture is aged for a minimum of five years at ideal conditions in one hundred-year-old chalk cellars. The wines are intentionally aged longer than the officially required period so as to provide customers with champagne that is at its optimum.
