In this exclusive tasting, Alexandre Collard (Collard-Picard) and Yan-Alexandre Gonet (Gonet Sulcova) guide you through a vertical exploration of their shared family vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. The vineyard plots, inherited from Charles Gonet, lie side by side, yet each house translates them through its own personality, craftsmanship, and vision—proving that proximity does not mean uniformity.

The Collard-Picard and Gonet-Sulcova families regularly collaborate and consult, preserving a spirit of both tradition and innovation. With Alexandre Collard and Yan-Alexandre Gonet, you will get to taste a rare lineup of family treasures, from the DOM.PICARD Grand Cru 2006 and 2012 to the legendary Gonet Sulcova 1988 Jeroboam and 2007 Magnum. Join Alexandre and Yan-Alexandre for a tasting that celebrates family stories, heritage, and conviviality, as much as it does Champagne.

Alexandre Collard is part of the sixth generation of the family behind Champagne Collard-Picard. He joined the family business in 2024 after completing a Master’s degree in Wine Management from the OIV (Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin), bringing new ideas and energy to the estate.

Yan-Alexandre Gonet is the Winemaker and Commercial Director at Champagne Gonet-Sulcova, representing a new generation of the historic Gonet family. Trained in both viticulture and oenology, he crafts wines with a keen focus on expressing the elegance of the estate’s Grand Cru and Premier Cru terroirs. Central to his approach is the preservation of the family’s Champagne heritage.
