The wine has a fine mousse and bead and is a pale yellow-golden color. The nose shows a subtle and light bouquet of grapefruit-citrus aromas, floral notes of accaia and white flowers. The palate is delicate and demonstrates an almost perfect balance and finesse.
Collet Blanc de Blancs' pure and elegant style matches well with Japanese cuisine and perfectly accompanies lobster and shellfish dishes.

93 pts - Wine Enthusiast: “Chardonnay from three of the Côte des Blancs villages gives a strongly mineral character that has benefited from five years aging to produce a tight, taut wine that is just reaching maturity.”
91 pts/Very Good+ - Ken's Wine Guide: “This 100% Chardonnay from Premier and Grand Cru Vineyards is a great example of the style that once was. Modern Champagnes focus on the toasted (brioche) and yeasty notes. Collet, focuses on elegance from the bubbles to the finish. The bubbles in this pale Champagne are fine and consistent. Never seemed to stop coming from the bottom of the flute. The nose was light hinting at granny smith apples, nectarines, ginger, and almonds. The palate was creamy which is expected with 100% Chardonnay offerings like this, with touches of smoke and toasted macadamia nuts. The finish was impeccable with the perfect touch of stone-fruit esters and acidity. The Collet Blanc de Blancs has the potential to age and would inherently evolve to something more akin to the modern style if given at least 5 years in the cellar. I would pair well with bacon-wrapped scallops.”
90 pts - Wine Spectator: “Crushed white cherry and slivered almond notes are framed by clean-cut acidity in this balanced, creamy Champagne, with accents of orchard blossom and ground ginger on the finish.”
