Sensory Description:

Brilliant in its peach-pink color, this Brut Rosé opens with delicate floral notes before unfolding into citrus tones of mandarin and orange, layered with yellow peach, raspberry, and mulberry. Subtle accents of brown sugar add depth to the bouquet. The palate offers generous fruit flavors of blackcurrant, mulberry, and peach, with a touch of cocoa. Fine, silky bubbles carry a supple texture and freshness through a lingering, elegant finish.

Winemaker's Background:

Founded in 1921 following the Champagne Riots, Maison Collet is a historic house with a deep commitment to the growers of the region. Its heritage is anchored in Aÿ, with vineyards spanning Premier and Grand Cru villages such as Hautvillers and Vertus. Under the guidance of the Krause family since 2016, Collet continues to uphold its reputation for precision and artistry, aging its wines for extended periods in ancient limestone cellars to achieve harmony and depth.

Serving Suggestions:

Collet Brut Rosé is ideal as an aperitif but truly shines at the table. Pair it with Parmesan-almond biscuits, grilled shellfish, or luxurious Cotentin blue lobster to highlight its silky texture and fruit-driven complexity. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C in a tulip glass to enjoy its full aromatic range.

Champagne Collet Brut Rosé is more than a sparkling wine; it is a vibrant expression of Champagne’s terroirs and Maison Collet’s enduring pursuit of elegance. With every bottle, it invites moments of joy, refinement, and celebration.
