Collet Brut, Champagne, France NV

Description

Decanter 91
The oldest cooperative in Champagne, Collet dates back to 1921 and sources many of its grapes from premier and grand cru vineyards. Their NV Brut is a blend of over 100 parcels from across the region, with the addition of 35% reserve wine.

A lean, crisp style that is ideally suited to drinking with food.
