Guide VERON des Champagnes 2018
(around 56
euros per bottle)
Numbered bottle, sober
and luxurious, in an original box So Collet, with a sophisticated elegance.
Aspect:
Pale gold.
Fine and brilliant
bubbles.
Silky tears.
Nose:
Heady aromatic waltz,
source of beautiful feelings.
The majority of
Chardonnay with 75%, charms us with its fine scents of apple, pear and candied
citrus fruits, coupled with refined woody notes.
Later, the nose unveils
its generosity with its caressing aromas of honey and pastries discreetly spicy
and roasted, characteristic sign of the 8 years of patient ageing on laths of
the bottles, with autolysis of the prise
de mousse yeasts.
Palate:
Pure opening, with a
remarkable elegance, reinforced by the timely stop of the malolactic
fermentation of the 58% of base wines vinified and aged in barrels, and by the
adjusted dosage with only 6 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.
Joyful balance,
highlighted by touches of red and black fruits, signatures of the black
varietals (20% of Pinot Noir and 5% of Meunier).
Life-giving and mineral
finish.
Great length on the
palate.
For this Brut Vintage
2008 - Collection Privée, Sébastien Walasiak, cellar master of the Champagne
House Collet, was able to orchestrate with accuracy and sensitivity the meeting
of the best Crus of Champagne to offer us a well-defined Champagne,
unforgettable delicacy.
Ideal companion for
gastronomic meals, with a roasted chicken in salt crust and white truffle
polenta, for example.
Most ancient company of
Champagne producers, the coopérative générale des vignerons de la Champagne
délimitée (COGEVI) was founded in 1921 in Aÿ under the leadership of Alphonse
Perrin. Supported by its Cité du Champagne inaugurated in 2014 and true to the
original ethical values of independence and protection of the champenois heritage, the Champagne House
Collet rigorously selects grapes from the best Premiers and Grands Crus terroirs to vinify them with care, in small
volumes, and to create gastronomic Champagnes with personality.
