Olive trees and grass surround the vines at Domaine de Collin, where this bio-diverse farm in the Limoux region produces delightful, balanced wines, naturally.  The Domaine controls the entire process from vineyard to the bottle. The vines are worked without chemical fertilizers or weed killers.
Raised by a vigneron in the Champagne region, Collin brought his knowledge of champagne to the Languedoc.  He dedicates the majority of the vineyard to chardonnay, pinot noir, chenin grapes and a smaller fraction to merlot, syrah and cabernet sauvignon.  The altitude, microclimate, and soil give this vineyard the ability to produce both wines of depth and complexity at a great value.
The Limoux Cremants are the grandparents of Champagne. Its birth dates from 1531 and are appreciated to this day as one of the best French sparkling wines. However, there are a large number of producers and at this time, the name of the producer makes a big difference. Philippe Collin is a native of the Champagne region and is dedicated to produce the typical sparkling wines of the Limoux region with the typical elegance of Champagne, with total success. Your Crémants can be compared to true Champagnes. Collin was founded in 1980. The grapes are harvested manually. Elaborated by the traditional method, with second fermentation in the bottle.
