Champagne Jacques Picard - Berru
The vineyards in Champagne’s Monte de Berru region were completely destroyed in World War I – the vineyards were in fact on the front line for much of the war. It was not until after WWII that Roger Picard replanted the area, with 40 acres of vines in the villages of Beru, Montbré and Avenay Val d’Or. Many other families followed suit and replanted in the area after the war, but Picard remains the only Grower-Producer in the region.
José Lievens, son-in-law of Jacques Picard
The Picard estate is planted 70% to Chardonnay, 10% to Pinot Noir and 20% to Pinot Meunier. One of the larger Grower-Producers, they bottle about 12,000 cases per year, with a style focused on richness of fruit and overall balance.

This delicious sparkler is 60% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Meunier and 5% Pinot Noir from the Picard estate. 60% of it is from the 2007 vintage, with the other 40% a blend of reserve wines from 2006, 2005, 2004, 2002 & 2001. Great fruit AND great acidity – a perfect bubbly with Sushi and most Asian dishes.
