Collery
Reviving a champagne house more than a century old is something singular, we are today guided by a passion from which we seek to combine the past, the present and create our future.
Founded in 1893, in the middle of the art nouveau period, the Maison Collery has always been carried by men and women committed to making great champagne wines to the delight of connoisseurs.
Jules-Anatole Collery
Created the Collery brand in 1893
His pioneering action was by being one of the first winemakers to champagnize and market his bottles when it was usually the sale of grapes that was the norm. He already had an approach towards wine that allowed him to win his first gold medal in Paris in 1904. His innate business acumen dictated that he use this award to develop his sales.
“Those who love wine know it is alive …”
Pierre & Geneviève Collery
A dream team:
Pierre, son of Jules-Anatole, turned to vineyard management and winemaking while Genevieve turned to trade. She showed a real passion for wine. She shared it with an enthusiasm and a drive that allowed her to conquer the heart of the most beautiful Parisian establishments of the pre-war period (the Acropôle, the Belle Hélène, the Silver Tower, etc.). Genevieve was a fascinating, visionary woman whose notoriety does not reflect everything she has done for champagne.
Jean Collery
A committed man, a great developer of Collery champagne, but also a mayor and a senator:
A politically engaged man, Jean was one of the first members of the young winemakers association. In 1974 he took over the presidency of the regional natural park of the mountain of Reims. Jean even promoted a law for the elimination of waste in 1975.
On the champagne side, he was intensely involved, and broke new ground as the originator of the Collery rosé by maceration. Through his charisma and his commitment to France, Jean’s name is anchored in the Champenois landscape.
Alain Collery
The soul of a conqueror who tells champagne like no other:
Alain developed incredibly early his vision of Champagne Collery, resolutely customer-oriented, and implemented it with all the dynamism that characterizes him.
With a real sense of staging, an attachment to ancestral gestures, he became a forerunner of what is now called “wine tourism” by creating his champagne museum in Aÿ in the early 1970s.
Alain is a man who likes to add value to the enchanting and festive side of champagne.
It is with this same philosophy and with the encouragement of the Collery family, that we wish to keep the brand in its historical cradle, which is Aÿ, building on what has made the house famous: Pinot Noirs from the Champenois Grands Crus. Collery is a champagne House which will amaze you at every tasting.
Our ambition is to make Maison Collery an actor but also a representative of Aÿ, known for the uncompromising quality of its champagnes from the Grand Cru terroirs. We want every tasting of our champagnes to be an extraordinary experience for our customers.
