Clear, deep ruby colour with clean, pronounced nose of black fruits. Dry with evenly matched tannins and acidity, full bodied with flavours of blackberries and vanilla. Long finish. Very good quality. — 3 years ago

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

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

Upon opening very light dry and carbonated. Beautiful strawberry starburst flavor with some lemon starburst thrown in. A beautiful wine. — 7 years ago

My last bottle. When it comes to big house producers, Charles Heidsieck may very well be my favorite. This 2006 rosé has 8-10% still red wine in it, and spent about seven years before disgorgement.

This was opened alongside a Ulysse Collin Les Maillons (which is one of my favorite grower champagnes, yet I’m out at their increasing price point). The inherit sweetness here is so divine. More balanced than the bottle I opened 2-3yrs ago, yet more compact than the 2007 I opened a few months ago. Required about an hour to come in to its own. Salmon-colored in the glass with an intoxicating nose…strawberry shortbread, toasted pastries (cranberry scone), faint limestone. Typical CHeidsieck palate with richness but great focus…turns a bit darker red fruit driven but already possesses a mature-profile with nougat and spiced red fruits at the finish. Definitely some flair of orange zest too. Benchmark vintage rosé! — 3 years ago

A lovely showing. Glad we opened this at this stage, since it seems at peak. Lovely color, mousse and density. Rich lemon, honey. On the palate, fanatastic acidity, good density. This was excellent, but just not as complex as the Collin. Yum. — 4 years ago

Flinty and Burgundian - a touch on the sweet side which seems to be a function of age. Ever so slightly getting secondary (oxidized?) characteristics notes on 2010 Collin Chardonnay — 8 years ago
