Collery is a full bodied style but with enough acidity to keep you coming back for more. This less austere style makes it incredibly versatile, great as an aperitif and excellent with a range of foods (try it with fried chicken, shellfish or even a steak... you won't be disappointed). The Extra Brut is also created from 65% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir with 48+ months on the lees. It includes a little touch of genius which makes for a rich style despite only 2g/l dosage. A small proportion of the base wine is matured in ex-Sauternes barells and blended in. Whilst this doesn't impart any sugar it does give a hint of honey and spice which means you don't miss the body and richness from the low-dosage.
