However, winemaker Sebastien Walasiak uses no more than 10% of the overall vineyard yields. Sebastien blends the base wines of the classic Champagne varieties from hundreds of individual vineyards and several vintages vital, because blending is the ultimate art of Champagne and is the key to maintaining Champagne Collets incomparable house style.
