Description
What kind of wine it is
Colin Champagne Rosé Castille 1er Cru Brut Rosé is a sparkling rosé Brut from the prestigious Premier Cru region of Champagne. This captivating blend combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in a soft, full-bodied profile, releasing aromas of raspberry and floral hints of violet. Crafted according to the strict standards of the Traditional Method, it reveals a lively palate with notes of strawberry and blood orange, finishing with nuances of liquorice and menthol. It pairs ideally with fish dishes, goat's cheese and petits fours.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Vertus, in the heart of Champagne. The Colin estate, following an organic and sustainable approach, enhances the terroir through meticulous vineyard management. The Premier Cru designation attests to the excellence of the soils from which the grapes are sourced, giving the wine a distinct and elegant character. Chardonnay plays a central role in the blend, expressing the structure and finesse typical of this wine-growing area.
How it is produced
Vinification combines the use of stainless steel with oak barrels, a technical choice that imparts depth and consistency to the blend. The wine then matures on the lees for a period between 18 and 30 months, completing its ageing according to the Traditional Method. The sugar dosage perfectly balances the palate, introducing delicate notes of orange blossom. This is a sparkling wine with excellent ageing potential, capable of evolving positively in the cellar for several years.
