Les Perrieres, Blanc de Blancs, Ulysse Collin (disgorged 2015)

Note:

The NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Pierrières (2015) is showing just as brilliantly as when I last reviewed it in 2020. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of ripe orchard and citrus fruit, hints of dried mango, freshly baked bread, white flowers and wet stones, it`s medium to full-bodied, concentrated and electric, with racy acids, chalky structuring extract and a long, searingly mineral finish. This layered, vinous Champagne was disgorged after 48 months on the lees, something that Collin has now generalized to the whole cuvee of some 12,000 bottles, beginning with the 2018 base.
