Tasting the Bubbles
Our good friends Stefano and Maude have set-up an operation to import champagne from France to the UK. We were very happy to dive in and be the first customers! We order the Colin Blanche de Castille, Blanc de Blanc 1er Cru Brut which is 100% chardonnay and it is a top bottle of fizz. Dry and flavorful with an refreshing and satisfying bouquet. Yes, it is a good drinking bottle of french bubbles and perfect as a aperitif with some salted snacks.
We enjoyed a bottle of the Colin with Michelle and David this weekend.
It is great to try an independent producers wine. For more info about the wine and how to order if you want to keep your stock flowing this summer, check their new website here. Btw, I ordered the wine and get the shipment the next day even!
I like their teaser about champagne on the homepage: Champagne is not just a wine, it is a feast for the senses.
