Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Vivid and taut, driven by Chardonnay from Berru and a complete absence of dosage.
Roundness
A subtle roundness born of extended lees ageing, never weighing down the mineral backbone.
Power
A Champagne of precision rather than power, whose strength lies in its chalky depth.
Length
A persistent, saline and chalky finish — the unmistakable signature of a terroir fully expressed.

TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in the glass with luminous highlights, fine and persistent bubbles. An elegant nose of lemon zest, white blossom and damp chalk, with a delicate brioche note acquired through extended ageing on lees. The palate delivers remarkable saline tension, where fresh citrus engages in dialogue with a deep, chalky minerality, leading to a long, precisely chiselled finish of disarming purity.

Terroirs

Sourced from the lieu-dit « Les Bénis », planted with Chardonnay on the chalky clay-limestone soils of Berru (Montagne de Reims), this vintage blanc de blancs expresses the singular character of a little-known cru whose white soils impart an unrivalled mineral precision to the wines.

Picard

About this house

Established in Berru, at the heart of the Montagne de Reims, Jacques Picard cultivates 17 hectares across the clay-limestone slopes of what is often described as Champagne's hidden vineyard. The domaine, certified organic since 2022 following several years of rigorous conversion, produces its entire range exclusively from estate-grown fruit.

Today run by Sylvie and Corinne Picard — daughters of Jacques — alongside their partners, the house upholds an exacting, grower-led philosophy: hand harvesting, parcel-by-parcel vinification, extended ageing on lees and zero added sulphur are the hallmarks of a discreet range highly sought after by lovers of natural Champagne and authentic terroir-driven wines.

The perfect pairing

Aperitif

Aperitif

The fine bubbles and chalky minerality of this zero-dosage Champagne are a natural match for light Comté gougères.

Starter

Its saline vivacity and citrus tension align beautifully with the iodine freshness and gentle sweetness of fine rock oysters.

The mineral brilliance and length of the wine bring out the delicate, sweet flesh of lobster at its finest.
