Champagne Jacques Picard

Located in the village of Berru, at the northern edge of the Montagne de Reims, Champagne Jacques Picard is a family-run estate whose identity is deeply shaped by its cool, elevated terroirs and a long-standing commitment to precision and balance. Founded in 1956, the domaine remains independent and hands-on, with each generation refining a style that privileges clarity, freshness, and quiet complexity over power.

The vineyards are primarily situated around Berru, with additional parcels in select crus of the Montagne de Reims, including Montbré and Avenay-Val-d’Or. These sites, often cooler and more wind-exposed than those further south, produce grapes of notable tension and aromatic finesse. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay form the backbone of the estate’s wines, offering a dialogue between structure and elegance that is central to the Picard style.

Viticulture at Jacques Picard is conducted with close attention to soil health and vine balance, favouring sustainable practices and restrained yields. In the cellar, vinification is carried out with a light hand: fermentations are carefully monitored, lees ageing is extended, and dosage is kept measured, allowing the wines to express their origin with transparency and poise.

The resulting Champagnes are defined by freshness, mineral lift, and composure. They reveal their complexity gradually, with saline undertones and fine texture that make them as compelling at the table as they are as aperitif wines. Discreet yet confident, Champagne Jacques Picard embodies a cultivated expression of the Montagne de Reims — one that values nuance, balance, and longevity.
