The single vineyard cuvée of Maison Collet is a Grand Cru, 100% Pinot Noir from the emblematic Coteau of Côte du Moulin in Aÿ.
The Aÿ Grand Cru 2019 cuvée from Maison Collet is made from 100% Pinot Noir from our iconic “La Côte du Moulin” vineyard, planted in 1995 on the UNESCO-listed slopes of Aÿ. Produced only in the finest years, this wine combines power, freshness, and minerality. Structured and generous, it enhances foie gras, refined meats, and morel mushrooms.
The 2019 growing season was marked by challenging climatic conditions: spring frosts affected the vineyards, and the year was punctuated by drought and heatwaves.
Despite these challenges, the grapes reached good ripeness in a remarkably uniform way across almost all of Champagne. Yields at harvest were moderate, but the quality of the grapes was considered satisfactory. Although less abundant, the 2019 vintage still produced a good output thanks to healthy, fully ripe grapes.
