Overview

The NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Pierrières (2015) is showing just as brilliantly as when I last reviewed it in 2020. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of ripe orchard and citrus fruit, hints of dried mango, freshly baked bread, white flowers and wet stones, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and electric, with racy acids, chalky structuring extract and a long, searingly mineral finish. This layered, vinous Champagne was disgorged after 48 months on the lees, something that Collin has now generalized to the whole cuvée of some 12,000 bottles, beginning with the 2018 base.

The 2015 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blanc Les Pierrières is tense, vibrant and wonderfully focused. In this release, the Les Pierrières is 40% 2015 and 60% 2014 [if it is based 2015 why is there more 2014 %] juice that spent two years in oak, with the reserve wines no doubt contributing freshness and overall energy. Crushed rocks, citrus, white flowers and slate add striking layers of nuance. A slight touch of reduction adds character, but with less of an imprint than in some previous editions. Olivier Collin told me that he lowered the SO2 prior to bottling, which explains why this edition of the Pierrières is not as reduced as some of its predecessors have been. Dosage is 1.7 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2018. By Antonio Galloni March 2019
