Ulysse Collin Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Les Pierrières NV

From the visionary grower-producer Olivier Collin in Congy, Champagne, the Les Pierrières NV Extra Brut is a single-vineyard biodynamic Champagne from the Coteaux du Petit Morin. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay in the 1.2-hectare Les Pierrières plot with chalk and silex soils, it’s hand-harvested, naturally fermented in oak, and aged 36 months on lees. Disgorged in 2015 with minimal dosage, it reflects the region’s unique terroir with a pale golden hue and refined precision.

Winemaking Process

Collin’s commitment to biodynamic practices defines this Champagne. The 2015 disgorgement, primarily from the 2013 base vintage with reserve wines, is fermented in used Burgundy barrels with partial malolactic fermentation, enhancing texture. Extended lees aging and minimal intervention highlight the chalky, silex-driven terroir, creating a wine of striking intensity and finesse.

Tasting Notes

A vibrant, chiseled Champagne with intense minerality and crisp fruit, showcasing terroir-driven elegance.
The nose offers citrus zest, green apple, and white flowers, with hints of pineapple and chalky minerality. On the palate, it’s racy and full-bodied, with crisp acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, toasty finish with subtle smokiness.

Awards and Accolades

The Les Pierrières NV (2015 disg.) earned 93 points on CellarTracker, with users noting its “crisp apple, creamy texture, and mineral finish.” Vinous praises its “crushed rocks, lemon confit, and almond notes” for its energy and purity. The estate is lauded by Club Oenologique as a leader in Champagne’s terroir movement.

Food Pairings

Pair this Champagne with Western dishes like fresh oysters or seared scallops to highlight its minerality and citrus notes. For Chinese cuisine, try 燒春雞 (roast spring chicken) from Cantonese cuisine or 蔥油拌麵 (scallion oil noodles) from Shanghai cuisine to complement its crisp acidity and creamy texture. Ideal for refined seafood dishes or festive occasions.

Serving and Cellaring

Serve chilled at 8°C for optimal freshness, ideally in a tulip glass to enhance aromas. Enjoy now or cellar until 2027 for added complexity. Explore our Champagne collection for more grower-focused bottlings.
