This house is a small grower-producer of fine Champagne. Picard is the only récolant-manipulant in the Mont de Bern. Most of the other growers use a cooperative or sell grapes to the principal Champagne houses. The Picard estate practices “involved viticulture,” without getting into biodynamic fanaticism. They not only press and vinify parcels separately, but go so far as to treat each different clonal selection individually.
