Ulysse Collin, Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut Les Maillons NV

Pinot Noir Slight orange tint in the glass, with a fine mousse. Ample, balanced, ecstatic. Cloud nine! So bold and dense and energetic and captivating. Ripe yet fresh gooseberry, vinous blueberry and mangosteen, with mouthfilling saline vibracy and a deep-dark soily edge giving you goosebumps. Avant-garde! As for all Collin Champagnes, the fruit is hand-harvested and pressed; the juice is lightly sulfured and settled overnight, then fermented spontaneously and slowly with natural yeasts in oak, with the reserve wine spending an extra year in barrel; the wine is bottled without fining, filtering or sulfuring and aged sur lattes for an extended period, 3 years in the case of Les Maillons. The wine is disgorged and finished with a small dosage of 1-2 grams/liter at most. 100% Pinot Noir
