Pristine, structured, elegant. Lovely persistence that doesn't get aggressively acidic.

Insanely delicious with cheddar cheese covered popcorn. For my own taste, a little less oak would be nice. But serious juice.

Buffing a mountain of glasses calls for proper motivational juice...

Ulysse Colin's Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is exclusively from Chardonnay grown in chalk and clay-based soil, with a subsoil of flint. Aged on the lees for 24 to 36 months, this Champagne is exquisite—the nose is heady and complex, with notes of crème brûlée, ripe peaches, orange blossom, candied orange peel, toasted nuts and honeycomb. The mousse is fine, and there is both weight and creaminess balancing out piercing acidity, minerality, wet stone and lively citrus notes. Persistent, focused and powerful.

Good stuff. Lots of fruit but good balance. A little juicier than expected but not in a bad way...
