The wine has a fine sequence of effervesces with attractive golden highlights. Floral aromas with subtle vanilla notes lead to a fruit-driven palate with notes of stone fruits and citrus. The wine has a fine and elegant texture with a prolonged finish of rare intensity. Collet Esprit Couture can be enjoyed with all refined gourmet occasions, but is best savored with subtle flavors that won’t compete with its many intriguing nuances.

94 pts - Wine Enthusiast: “This is the prestige cuvée from this co-op producer. Coming in a attractive, Art Deco-style bottle, the wine plays its elegant part. A strong toast flavor doesn’t detract from the ripe green-fruit tone and bright acidity, while the palate feels rich and smooth.”
93 pts - Ken's Wine Guide: “This pale straw colored Champagne from Collet is the real deal and
was the clear winner of our Big Blind tasting. It opens with a fragrant bread dough bouquet with hints of strawberry, damp foliage and dry roasted nuts. On the palate, this is old school Champagne. The flavor profile is a honey and green apple blend with notes of cashew, bread dough and flinty minerality. The finish is dry and its acidity and flavors drift away nicely. The Panel suggested pairing this delicious Champagne with Emeril's Coquilles St. Jacques.”
90 pts/YEAR'S BEST CHAMPAGNE - Wine & Spirits: “A selection from the top vineyards of the members of this cooperative in Aÿ, this is a generous, finely integrated Champagne with fresh yellow apple flavors. It feels opulent and supple, with hints of green as the acidity tightens the finish.”
