Ulysse Collin is known for producing Champagnes of epic scale and riveting minerality.

Ulysse Collin's Champagnes can nearly overwhelm the senses. There's a multi-dimensional complexity that seems to hit you from every angle.

Today, we're excited to celebrate Ulysse Collin with an offer that includes many rarities. 

Of Ulysse Collin's lineup, Les Pierrières Blanc de Blancs offers the most precise, penetrating minerality and lifted elegance. Pierrières is a 1.2 ha vineyard located in the village of Vert-Toulon. In Pierrières, the chalk in the vineyard is extremely close to the surface and mixed with black silex. It is incisive, powerful, and complex.

Les Roises comes from 60-year-old vines on clay-rich soils. What makes it so impressive is how its incredible breadth and depth are married to tension and rigorous detail. The combination is thrilling. Compared to Les Pierrières, Les Roises is expansive, working on an extremely complicated grandeur of scale.

Ulysse Collin's Les Enfers has a mind-boggling complexity and profound depth. It weaves together a kaleidoscope of flavors that seem to constantly evolve: stone fruits, earth, herbs, flowers, and fine minerality. The intensity of the aromatics is striking.

Les Enfers is an all-Chardonnay single vineyard cuvée that's located in Roises, one of Collin's other sites. Like Roises, Enfers is composed of clay topsoil with limestone subsoil.

The Rosé de Saignée is the rarest and most challenging wine of the lineup. It's profoundly complex, and a wine that you need to spend some time with to begin to wrap your mind around.

I'll let you get to the list. Please keep in mind that quantities are extremely limited.
