"Oliver Collin's NV (2008) Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Perrières leaves the room speechless. What a wine. A warm, toasty bouquet fleshes out into deep, expressive fruit in a big, large-scaled, vinous Champagne of the highest level. All the elements are very much in place in a wine that captures the best in small production, artisan Champagnes. Fermentation and aging in French oak barrels give these wines distinctly Burgundian overtones to match fruit from impeccably farmed vineyards. I think it is safe to say that, on this day, the 2008 Les Perrières stole the show. "

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The northerly region that gives its name to the world's most celebrated sparkling wine, made by secondary fermentation in bottle from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Chalky soils and a cool climate yield wines of finesse and longevity.
The sole appellation for true Champagne, producing sparkling wines of finesse and complexity by traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
