This champagne is characterized by its elegance, freshness, and minerality, typical attributes of white wines in this category.

Background

The Maison Colin is a family winery with a rich tradition in producing high-quality champagnes. Its history dates back to the late 19th century and is deeply rooted in the vineyards of the Champagne region, particularly in the prestigious Côte des Blancs, known for being the birthplace of the best Chardonnay in the region.

The winery specializes in Blanc de Blancs champagnes, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from vineyards classified as Premier Cru and Grand Cru in villages such as Vertus, Bergères-les-Vertus, and Cuis.

The philosophy of the maison focuses on respect for nature and sustainable resource use, resulting in rational viticulture and minimal intervention in the winery to preserve the authentic expression of the grapes.

Production Process

This specific cuvée is a tribute to Chardonnay, emphasizing freshness and elegance. The fermentation and aging of the base wine take place in stainless steel to highlight the purity of the fruit, and the wine spends time on the lees before disgorgement, adding complexity and depth.

It is an ideal champagne for those who appreciate expressive and mineral wines with an authentic character.
