"Festive bubbles!"
"Marked by a predominance of Chardonnay, this cuvée offers a dashing olfactory character of stone fruit and spicy fresh citrus. The palate is creamy and velvety, with a chalky mineral finish. Ideal as an aperitif or with a soufflé of sole des sables". (Gault & Millau Vins 2021)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine noté Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the wine:
With chalky accents and a touch of citrus, this is an aperitif bubbly.
About the domain :
In the heart of the Côte de Sézanne, brothers Vincent, Thomas and Florent Collet have given new impetus to the family domaine since the turn of the century, on the 15 parcels around Fontaine-Denis. The cuvées are of good quality, and the Anthime range, which claims to be aged in wood, stands out from the rest.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
This brut owes everything to Chardonnay, a grape variety widely grown in the Sézannais region. Its discreet, slightly evolved nose of citrus fruit and minerality, its unctuous, fresh palate, with good length and just the right dosage of citrus fruit and white fruit, leave us with the memory of a well-crafted champagne.
About the domain :
In the early 20th century, the Collet family sold their grapes to the wine trade. René Collet, a cooperative member, launched his champagne in 1973. His 3 sons, Thomas, Vincent and Florent, set up between 2001 and 2011, and decided to produce their own cuvées. They have 5 hectares of vines in the Sézannais region.

Wine rated (guide 2021) 15/20 (Very good)

About the wine:
Dominated by Chardonnay, this cuvée offers a dashing bouquet of spicy stone fruit and fresh citrus. The palate is creamy and velvety, with a chalky mineral finish. Ideal as an aperitif or with a soufflé of sole des sables.
About the domain :
The story of Domaine Collet is a beautiful one: born into a modest family of winemaker-farmers from Fontaine-Denis, it was quite simply in 1973 that René Collet decided to create his own brand. With the help of a large cooperative, he developed the estate through the acquisition and planting of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, ideally located in the Fontaine-Denis area. The early 2000s brought changes: two of Mr. Collet's three sons joined the company, and a new winery and barrel cellar were built.
