Ulysse Collin, Les Enfers Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Base 2015 60 MonthsNA

This is one of the rare 2010s that could actually be approached young if it was decanted for an hour or so first

The wine has good intensity

dry-grown Shiraz vines from the Hill of Grace vineyard that are

whose deep-seated spiciness combines with younger components to keep the sucrosity (400g/l) in balance – only just

statuesque Gran Selezione that delivers the goods

and this wine shows little of the ripe

sourced predominantly from Farella in Coombsville

Soaring acidity lifts the fruit and makes it so salivating

fresh and with multiple levels of depth

Give it another year in the bottle

Tasted in June 2021

Like the Masures the nose is quite restrained and only reluctantly reveals notes of cool citrus and more elegant white fleshed fruit and petrol aromas
