Country: France / Blanche de Castille Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut
Variety: Chardonnay Champagne
Winery: Colin / Champagne
Based in Vértus, at the southern end of the Côte des Blancs, Colin is a family-owned grower. The style is full-on, fruity, but with an attractive oxidative bottle-aged edge that rounds the texture out. There is some tight minerality and the wine is finely in balance.
