From seventh-generation grower/producer Champagne Colin comes this ravishingly elegant Grand Cru champagne made from 100% Chardonnay. Sourced from 10 hectares of vineyards located in the Grand Cru villages of Cramant and Oiry in the prestigious region of the Côte de Blancs, this wine displays that rare duality of richness meets precision that only comes from meticulous winemaking and an excellent vintage. Long and graceful, with an opulent mousse, this wine offers notes of citrus and orchard fruit, fresh pastries and marzipan, while finishing with a dazzling chalk driven minerality. We dare you to find a better Grand Cru “farmer fizz” champagne at this price! Paired with Chef Jason's acclaimed Hamachi Sashimi, we dare you to find a better pairing.
