"Collin's NV (2008) Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Roises is a new wine from a parcel that has regained control over after a period of selling the grapes. Here the deep, clay-rich soils yield a Chardonnay of extraordinary depth, breadth and volume. Juicy apricots, dried pears, honey, spices, almonds, orange, dried flowers and savory herbs all take shape as this full-bodied, voluptuous Champagne shows off its inimitable personality. Despite its richness, the 2008 boasts stunning depth and compelling overall balance. Power and elegance have rarely been this compelling. What a gorgeous wine. Dosage was just 0.85 grams per liter. This bottle was disgorged on March 5, 2012."
