Champagne Colin - Cuvée Enjôleuse 2007 - Premier Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs
Champagne Colin - Cuvée Enjôleuse 2007 - Premier Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs tasted by The Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
Stone Fruit, Creamy Mousse, Certain Complexity
This one has some age, medium deep golden colour. Quite fine developed bubbles. Intense nose, I would talk about quite vinous style here, good autolytic character, some complexity from the lees aging. Floral, with a white flower, there might be a slight hint of oak in here Then we have stone fruits, ripe citrus. Clearly a Chardonnay to me, more with that notion of minerality, quite elegant fruit. Good gripe on the palate. For this one I would use the word austere, in the positive sense. It is really mouth-watering, salivating, with well-defined freshness. Good gripe, good concentration of fruit, with just-about-ripe stone fruit in there, nice creaminess. Nicely persistent flavours there, elegant stone fruit, good level of freshness, integrated mousse, creamy with a good length. Intense and lingering flavours. It has a certain development today, it has a certain complexity. It is clearly a Champagne that I would happily drink today, it really pleases me in that more, I would say, small grower vinous style of a Blanc de Blanc. However it will certainly gain a lot of complexity in the coming years.
