Collet

Growers' house · Aÿ · founded 1921

Collet is a Champagne house founded in 1921 by a group of growers, who still own the brand; its Villa Collet stands in Aÿ.1 The house calls itself the first independent growers' house, which is its own description.1

History

In 1921 a group of growers founded the house; their spokesman, Raoul Collet, gave it his name.1 The house says five generations of growers have followed since.1 It describes itself as the first independent growers' house; that is the house's own claim.1

How it works

According to the house, the growers own the Champagne Collet brand and tend the vines, while the house's own teams handle vinification, blending and ageing.1 The official pages consulted do not state the registration code, the number of members or the vineyard area. See cooperative and label codes.
