Based on the 2014 vintage with the additionof 50% reserve wines from 2013, the NV Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Maillons(2014) was disgorged in February 2017 with 2.4 grams per liter dosage after 36months sur lattes. Bursting with aromas of pears, mint, red berries, tangerineand dried white flowers, it's full-bodied, broad and layered, with anenveloping attack that segues into a deep and concentrated core, girdled bylively acids and concluding with a long, precise and saline finish. Collinproduced 18,000 bottles of this elegant but intense Blanc de Noirs. LesMaillons is a vineyard in the Sézannais that the Collin family planted, farmedand eventually inherited: running about one degree Celsius warmer than the Côtede Blancs, easterly expositions have the advantage over southerly in this partof Champagne.

Disgorged in March 2019 with 2.4 grams perliter dosage after 36 months sur lattes, the extraordinary NV Extra Brut Blancde Noirs Les Maillons (2015) is based on the 2015 vintage with the addition offully 60% reserve wines from 2014. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of honeycomb,minty yellow orchard fruit, dried white flowers and almond paste, it'sfull-bodied, broad and vinous, with incredible depth and dimension at the core,a racy spine of tangy acidity that belies the base vintage, and a long,searingly intense finish. This is a remarkably complete and concentratedrendition of Les Maillons, but it's also among the most elegant and vibrantthat Olivier Collin has produced to date. While my expectation are always highwhen opening bottles from this producer, they were nonetheless transcended bythis new release.
