Ulysse Collin Champagne Les Maillons Extra Brut 2016

Almost a pink hue over the deep, golden color. The wine needed a little time in the glass to open up. At first, it was rather tight, notes of bread, toast and herbs. Sage, oregano and rosemary,herbs. After 15 minutes or so, fresh, vivid red fruit made its appearance. Cherry, raspberry.
Palatewise, the toasty character also came through. The red fruit certainly showed up, however the acidity had some rough edges. Very cleaning and focused minerality. The herbal notes also come through on the palate. Pleasant and good length.
