Deep gold. Fine persistent bubbles, even in a non-sparkling glass. Lime rind and green apple on the shy nose. Confirmed on the bright, medium palate which adds dark white bread toast and a hint of ash. Finish is moderate with a note of minerally yellow apple. Excellent complex Champagne to accompany rich seafood dishes. Drink now through 2032. — 2 years ago

2002 vintage. All meunier in honor of Rene Collard the Marne Valley meunier master. Great acid structure, but with broadness from the grape, barrel development, and aging on the cork. This is labeled de Meric, but it's the same single-foeder production as later disgorgments labeled Ginsburg. — 11 years ago

Bright gold. Abundant nose of baked quince and toasted brioche. Medium palate echoes the nose adding ripe yellow apple and honeysuckle nectar. Firm acidity asserts from entry to lengthy finish that doesn’t go dark and bitter as some Sec and Demi-Sec Champagnes can. A classically styled Sec that’s ready for brunch or any celebration. Drink it when you buy it of course. — 4 years ago

After enjoying a glass of the house champagne at the Orlando Waldorf Astoria, I asked the waiter to uncork the bottle I brought of 2008 vintage Essentiel from our friends, Olivier Collard and Caroline Picard proprietors of Maison Collard-Picard in Epernay, France. With my first sip of this delicate balance of Chardonnay, Pinot meunière, and Pinot noir I was transported back to my last visit to the region. I remembered how Olivier takes such great care in producing wines that are a departure from the ordinary. Aging in gigantic, neutral oak barrels, and using a refined yet natural approach, I savor each beautifully balanced sip. The color was a very pale gold that sparkled with the tiny bubbles as they formed a tidy dance in the flute. Olivier is mindful of the natural process in creating his wines. He does not add sugar during the dosage process, yet he ads a touch of naturally sweet wine which is a departure from tradition. Olivier has taken many years of family history in producing champagne and added his own, special touch. To experience any one or all of his suite of wines is truly something special. #champagnetoujours — 10 years ago
