i. Biography
Corinne Lievens Picard works in the discipline of independent winegrowing at Champagne Jacques Picard in Berru, France, where the estate’s own vineyards set the terms of production. In a region often organized around larger houses and inherited hierarchies, her work stays close to the source: grapes grown on site, wines made on site, and decisions shaped by the character of the land rather than an outside template. That continuity is visible in the house practice itself. At Champagne Jacques Picard, each plot is vinified separately, so the harvest is not flattened into a single anonymous blend. Corinne Lievens Picard’s role sits inside that method, which keeps the distinctions between parcels intact and carries them through the cellar. The result is a style described as fresh and elegant, with the vineyard remaining legible in the glass.
The Essentials At Champagne Jacques Picard in Berru, France, the estate’s own vineyards provide the foundation for Corinne Lievens Picard’s work.

Stainless steel gives a clean frame; oak brings measured depth. Together, they support wines described as fresh and elegant. That freshness and elegance are part of the estate’s register, but they also reflect the method behind the wines. Corinne Lievens Picard’s work at Champagne Jacques Picard is centered on preserving the individuality of each parcel, rather than collapsing everything into one surface. The emphasis is on patience in the cellar, attention in the vineyard, and continuity between the two. With the estate’s own grapes at the center and the process kept within the house, Corinne Lievens Picard’s profile reflects a direct line from vine to bottle. It is a practice defined by seasonal work, separate vinification, and a commitment to letting Berru, France, remain readable in the finished Champagne.
