Les Roises Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut NV (2017 base)

France
Champagne
NV

100% Chardonnay. 75% 2020 & 25% reserve wines. Les Roises is a 0.62-hectare monopole in Collin's home village of Congy in the northern Coteaux du Morin. The 65-year-old vines have full southern exposure and are planted on soft clay and silex topsoils over limestone. As for all Collin Champagnes, the fruit is hand-harvested, the clusters destemmed and the grapes gently pressed; the juice is fermented spontaneously and slowly (up to six months) with natural yeasts in mainly-used Burgundy barrels; reserve wines are held in foudres and tonneaux. The wine is bottled without fining or filtering and aged sur lattes for an extended period, 6 years in the case of this bottling of Les Roises. The current lot was disgorged in February 2024 and was finished with a dosage of 1-2 grams/liter.
