The Ulysse Collin Les Enfers Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 72 Mois 2010 is a remarkable Champagne, rooted in the 2010 vintage with an extended aging process. This particular cuvée spent 48 months on its lees, was bottled in 2011, and disgorged in 2015. A later disgorgement in March 2019 saw 8 years of lees aging, showcasing the producer's dedication to complexity and depth. Olivier Collin, the visionary behind Ulysse Collin, is celebrated for his terroir-driven approach, focusing on single vineyards and minimal intervention, with a characteristically low dosage between 1.7 and 2.4 g/l. The Les Enfers plot, a mere 0.62 hectares in Congy, features 45-year-old Chardonnay vines with eastern exposure on clay and silex soils, contributing to the wine's distinctive minerality and structure. Collin's commitment to soil health and meticulous viticulture since his first official vintage in 2004 underpins the profound quality of his Champagnes. 【Terroir-driven Grower Champagne】This Champagne offers a wonderfully appley and aromatic nose, complemented by bright lemony notes. On the palate, it reveals a powerful, nutty, and lemony character with hints of almonds, fine toasty nuances, and ripe apples. It is complex and exceptionally fresh, with stone fruits and pear balanced by excellent acidity, making for a truly profound wine. Further tasting notes include toast, brioche, and a mineral, smoky, chalky undertone. The longer-aged versions can also exhibit ripe pineapple, tropical notes, grapefruit, and subtle oak spice. 🍴 This exquisite Blanc de Blancs is incredibly versatile. It shines as an aperitif, setting a sophisticated tone for any gathering. It pairs beautifully with delicate seafood, fresh oysters, or aged, hard cheeses. Its complexity and depth also allow it to complement richer dishes such as roasted poultry with creamy sauces or even truffle-infused pasta. 🥂 The Ulysse Collin Les Enfers Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 72 Mois 2010 is perfectly suited for significant celebrations, milestone anniversaries, or as a contemplative wine for discerning connoisseurs. Its rarity and artisanal production make it an ideal choice for exclusive wine tastings or intimate, high-end dinners where the wine itself is a focal point.
