Disgorged after 60 months on the lees and incorporating 20% reserve wines, the Champagne Ulysse Collin Les Enfers Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is both captivating and approachable. It reveals an enticing profile of mango, pear, spices, beeswax, dried white flowers, and fresh bread. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, with a concentrated fruit core and a resonant, saline-inflected finish. Typically, Les Roises stands out as the more exotic of Collin's two cuvées from Congy, influenced by its virused vines and more southerly exposition. However, with this vintage of Champagne Ulysse Collin Les Enfers Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut, that balance seems intriguingly reversed, showcasing a nuanced evolution in character.
Champagne Ulysse Collin, led by visionary winemaker Olivier Collin, is celebrated for its singular focus on terroir-driven Champagnes. Based in the Côteaux du Petit Morin, the estate produces wines that reflect the unique characteristics of its vineyard sites, with a meticulous approach to both viticulture and vinification. Since reclaiming his family’s vineyards in 2004, Olivier has emphasized organic and biodynamic practices, ensuring the health of the vines and soils. The wines are vinified and aged in oak barrels, with extended lees aging and the inclusion of reserve wines for added depth and complexity. The domaine specializes in single-vineyard cuvées, including Les Pierrières, Les Maillons, Les Roises, and Les Enfers. Each bottling showcases the individuality of its terroir, offering a balance of structure, precision, and expressive minerality. With its limited production and uncompromising quality, Champagne Ulysse Collin has earned a place among the most sought-after grower estates, delighting connoisseurs with its nuanced and powerful Champagnes.
