Since 1921, Maison Collet has been creating distinctive champagnes that appeal to a clientele of demanding wine connoisseurs in search of authentic, elegant and refined champagnes. Established in Aÿ, in the heart of the Champagne region, Maison Collet uses primarily Premier and Grand Crus in its wines in order to reflect the diversity of the Champagne terroirs. Champagne Collet is a gastronomic wine and every cuvée has been created to complement various fine dining and fine drinking experiences, whether served as an aperitif or paired with the most sophisticated of dishes. At the start of the 20th century, champagne growers faced a torrent of rising costs, infestation of phylloxera and poor weather conditions causing a low crop yield. Champagne producers then started importing grapes outside the country but still labelling it as champagne. In 1911 growers took to the street, hijacking imports of wine and grapes dumping them into the Marne river and burning down champagne houses. After the Champagne Riots in 1911, 6,000 wine growers banded together with the objective of guaranteeing the origins of the grapes used in the production of champagne and to gain recognition for their terroir led to the establishment of the oldest Champagne Producers Union in 1921. This union is now based in the Grand Cru village of Aÿ and is at the origins of Champagne Collet. Raoul Collet became Director of Champagne Collet in 1928. Since 1921, he dedicated 30 years’ work to Maison Collet, which he took to the most important French and international exhibitions. Spokesperson for the winegrowers and their commitment to the recognition of their terroir and their savoir-faire, he will give his name to the brand
