Disgorged this year after 36 months in tirage, the NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Maillons (2018) is based on the 2018 vintage, incorporating fully 60% reserve wines from the 2017 vintage. Opening in the glass with scents of sweet mirabelle plum, honeycomb, orange oil, bee pollen and spices, it's full-bodied fleshy and seamless, with a satiny attack that segues into a vinous, enveloping mid-palate that's complemented by a fine, pillowy mousse. Concluding with a sapid, penetrating finish, 2018 was the first vintage in which Collin employed his new Coquard press, and it doesn't seem fanciful to imagine that this contributes to the notable finesse of this release.

Big, bold, and utterly captivating, this Pinot Noir-driven powerhouse from Ulysse Collin is the Champagne equivalent of a deep, soulful baritone. Dark cherries, roasted hazelnuts, and a touch of smoke swirl through layers of textured richness, all balanced by an unshakable core of minerality. A wine that demands attention—and deserves it.
