Champagne Collet Vintage 2008 Brut shows a bouquet of lemon, quince and brioche accompanied by scents of linden, acacia and fresh verbena, underpinned by mineral notes. Clean and fresh, opening with the zingy acidity of lemon and grapefruit through to a mineral, clean and saline mid-palate.
Red fruits, spice and slightly gamey, smokey flavour. Tannins add a bit of structure but still soft. Finish is tart red fruit. Lots of flavour but won't overwhelm most meals. Great with aged cheeses.
