Christmas Eve bottle. Paired wonderfully with honey glazed ham and bacon & green chili hash brown casserole!

Jan 2019 disgorgement. Before opening, this evokes tasting notes of Ulysse Collin’s rosé (a true favorite of mine). The frosted bottle, the deep color, and even the initial aromatics. From across the room, you’d likely call this red burgundy. When diving in to it, notes of licorice, cinnamon, cardamom and rhubarb come to mind. Catches you off guard. On the palate, it’s super vinous and dense, yet has so much classical meunier notes of gummy red fruits, floral notes of violets, and a unique sugar frosted cranberry note toward the finish. What sets this apart from most is the finish when paired with food...it turns almost savory and there is zero sweetness or tart notes. Any type of food seems to make this infinitely better. There is tannin and weight too, which has this drinking like a red burg when the right food pairing is taking place. Delicious, and a no brainer for buying again. — 4 years ago

great Blanc de noir ! Treat this champagne like any of your delicate wine. Needs decant for couple hours to reach the peak. Still very young to drink , lots going on when drinking. — 11 years ago

Such a wonderfully vinous and woodsy wine. I really enjoyed it. It was complex with red fruit, strawberries that were a touch underripe, some allspice, and the wood just brings the nose all together. The body was well structured and the finish long. This reminded me of Ulysse Collin. — 5 years ago

I'm liking the Rhone region of France a lot. All the wines I've had from the region have very very nicely balanced with acidity and tannin — 11 years ago

Followed the Ulysse Collin Extra. Rut, so the dosage seemed a bit high. I had the 2006 about a month ago and it was good, not great. This was good, but not great again. Enjoyable, but not entirely special. — 6 years ago
