Nice, but Bourmault makes a much better (and cheaper) entry-level Champagne — a month ago
Most of the love in the Ulysse Collin lineup goes to the BdB’s but I am a big fan of the Maillons, particularly recent renditions. They’re more giving on release, always so demonstrative and aromatically expressive, and this one, based on the 2017 vintage is no exception, wafting layers of defined orchard fruit, bread dough and wildflower honey. The palate is both concentrated and focused with racy acids, a wonderfully textural mousse and a bright, energetic and mineral laced finale. Top notch Blanc de Noirs to no surprise. — 2 months ago
Another Southampton special! Creamy and toasty and strong! Delightful. — 5 days ago
Etwas in die jahre gekommen - prickeln nur noch dezent, präsente röstaromen, pfirsich, hauch aprikose und litschi. — 11 days ago
No doubt a cut above the NV rose bottling. Full of youthful energy yet so complex and composed.
The perfumed nose shows pristine berry fruits, blood orange, Granny Smith apple, citrus zest, white floral, light brioche, and chalk. Vibrant creamy bubbles. Tastes of Ginger spice and cinnamon as well. Clean and elegant long finish.
Disgorged in 2019. — 19 days ago

Bright and light and precise. Nuttiness and brioche with a good bit of acidity — 3 days ago
