Roises 48 mo sur lie (Base 2016, 2021 deg)

Disgorged in March after 48 months sur lattes, Collin's NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Roises (2016) is one of the high points of a brilliant portfolio. Delivering aromas of orange oil, peach, warm spices, beeswax and white flowers, it's full-bodied, layered and muscular, with all the depth and concentration that these old, virused vines overlooking the village of Congy routinely deliver. Seamless and multidimensional, it's worth a special effort to seek out.(WK, 9/2021)
