"For gourmets!"

"Accents of candied fruit and spices, a palate that's both tracing with just the right amount of vinous intensity." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2019) A tribute to the family heritage, this remarkable cuvée is typified by mingled notes of Viennese pastry and dried fruit. The palate is vinous and complex, offering richness, vivacity and a long, persistent finish with nutty flavors.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15.5/20 (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:

Accents of candied fruit and spices, a palate that's both tractable with just the right amount of vinous intensity.

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

Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

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.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Rated 15.5/20 (Very good)

Rated area (2021 guide) Recommended (Recommended)

About the wine:

The nose is both classic and very charming. Notes of iodine and toasted bread, led by juicy pears. The palate is rich, enveloping and broadened by its time in wood. Lively freshness frames the finish.

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.
