Description
At Champagne Colin, the Colin family believes it takes more than just the terroir to craft Champagnes worthy of the name. In their view, it also requires the winegrowers’ expertise and ancestral experience combined with modern techniques. It was the Colin women who pioneered the Colin Champagne vineyards; ownership was handed down from the grandmothers: Geneviève Adnot-Prieur and Marie-Louise Colin-Radet. It is today the dynamic duo of brothers Richard and Romain Colin, who, after taking the helm in 1997, became passionate grower-producers responsible for the future of this family Champagne house.
Most of the 10-hectare estate is planted to Chardonnay, with Premier Cru classified vineyards located in the prestigious Côte des Blancs villages of Vertus, Bergères-les-Vertus and Cuis, and Grand Cru classified vineyards in the villages of Cramant and Oiry.
The Castille Blanc de Blancs is the family’s signature cuvée. 100% Vertus Premier Cru Chardonnay. Vinified in a combination of stainless-steel tanks and oak barrels. A blend of 60% year’s harvest and 40% reserve wine. Aged on the lees for 18-30 months. Disgorged January 2021. Dosage: 7g/l.
Pale yellow color. Aromas of freshly sliced green apple and a hint of toast. The lively palate shows Granny Smith apple, lemon pith and warm brioche. An assertive Blanc de Blancs with great texture and a beautiful mousse, with an elegant yet juicy finish.
