White - Sparkling	NV Ulysse Collin Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut (2009) Les Roises Chardonnay more	Options Post a Comment View Vintomas's profile Report Issue 10/14/2013 - Vintomas wrote: 91 points Small grower Champagne tasting with Munskänkarna, featuring some of the new generation of growers (Stockholm): Powerful nose with citrus, zest, yellow apples, some apple compote, a hint of beeswax and perfume. Very powerful on the palate, with citrus, powerful mineral notes, spice, and good acidity. Rather young, 91+ p. Disgorged 7 March 2013. More power than 2009 Les Pierrières, and a more powerful nose. The reason that I still score it the same as Les Pierrières is that it is somewhat shorter on the palate. For the 2008s, Les Roises came across as more mineral-dominated while 2008 Les Pierrières was the fruity one, so in 2009 the stylistic difference is inverted (and smaller than in 2008). Comment posted by winsonli: 12/3/2013 8:39:00 AM - Thanks for the useful comparison. When you mentioned the Roises being more fruity, did you refer to it as being fruit-forward in a negative sense, or was it just less mineral relative to the Perrieres?
