Gaston Collard, Champagne Dosage Zero, NV
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Gaston Collard Champagne Dosage Zero NV is a compelling example of minimalist winemaking, crafted to let the purity of the fruit and terroir take center stage. Gaston Collard, a small grower-producer located in Bouzy, a prestigious Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims, is known for creating character-driven Champagnes with a focus on Pinot Noir. Bouzy’s south-facing slopes and chalk-limestone soils are ideal for producing ripe, full-bodied fruit, which is key to the power and finesse of this wine. With no dosage added, this cuvée is a “zero sugar” or brut nature style, offering an unadulterated reflection of the vineyard and vintage.
In the glass, this Champagne shows a pale gold hue with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, it is precise and expressive, with aromas of red apple, lemon zest, fresh almond, and a hint of brioche. There is also a subtle smoky and mineral edge, characteristic of Bouzy’s chalky soils. The palate is taut and focused, with vibrant acidity and a chalky texture framing flavors of citrus, underripe pear, green apple skin, and a touch of crushed stone. The absence of dosage enhances the wine’s linear and mineral-driven profile, giving it a refreshing, bone-dry finish that lingers with notes of salinity and citrus pith.
This zero-dosage Champagne is an ideal match for seafood and shellfish, where its clarity and tension can truly shine. Pair it with freshly shucked oysters, sashimi, or sea bass ceviche for a perfect harmony of flavors. It also pairs beautifully with dishes that feature creamy textures, such as goat cheese or a beurre blanc sauce, as the Champagne’s vibrant acidity cuts through richness effortlessly. With its lean and precise style, this wine will appeal to fans of dry, terroir-expressive Champagnes, offering an authentic and unadorned taste of Bouzy’s exceptional terroir.
