Champagne AOC Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Pierrières 2016 Ulysse Collin

The Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Les Pierrieres by Ulysse Collin comes from a vineyard of just over one hectare, located on the hills of Petit Morin, characterized by chalk-laden soils interspersed with large flints and dedicated exclusively to the cultivation of Chardonnay. The vine is forced to penetrate deeply into the chalk in search of nutrients, in conditions similar to those of the famous Côte des Blancs region.

The winemaking takes place entirely in wooden barrels. The alcoholic fermentation takes place thanks to indigenous yeasts and lasts for a period of 3-6 months. Once the second fermentation in the bottle is completed, this champagne matures for at least 36 months on its lees.

It is characterized by a straw yellow color and a minute and persistent perlage. The nose offers elegant tropical notes of pineapple, accompanied by citrus hints. The palate is complex, smoky with light toasted notes and a buttery finish.

Perfect as an aperitif, it is ideal in combination with fish and shellfish appetizers.
