Champagne Collet Brut Art Deco 1er Cru NV
A swirl of very fine bubbles are reflected in a floral impression with zesty citrus overtones of lemon peel and lime. Fruity flavours of green apple, ripe pear, pineapple and quince jelly are subtly complemented by smoky notes, anise and a touch of lavender honey. This wine has a creamy texture and is full of charm.
Since its inception in 1921, the House of Collet has been creating Champagnes of character with authenticity, elegance and great finesse. Located in Aÿ, in the heart of the Champagne region, Collet represents some of the finest growers and mainly sources from vineyards which are based on Premier and Grand Cru sites. Each cuvée reflects the diversity of the region’s terroirs and has been masterfully blended to suit gastronomic cuisine.
This is an exceptional blend of seven Grands Crus and 13 Premiers Crus. The Chardonnay, predominantly from the commune of Vertus, contributes freshness and citrus notes. The Premier Cru of Villers-Marmery contributes the mineral dimension of the limestone terroir along with smoky touches. The Pinot Noir imparts a richness and power thanks to historic Crus such as Ay, Hautvillers and Avenay Val d'Or blended with Crus from Rilly la Montagne. The Pinot Meunier from Villedommange completes the blend imparting a roundness and suppleness.
