Collet Brut NV Champagne
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV ColletMy new go-to for celebrations
Saw Collet on a restaurant wine list and decided to find it retail. The nose is really inviting — sort of draws you in before you even take a sip. Properly balanced too, not too heavy at 12.5%. This is replacing Moët in my house from now on.
Don't sleep on this one
I'm relatively new to champagne beyond the big names but this Collet Brut is genuinely impressive. There's a depth to it that unfolds the longer you sip — like it keeps revealing more. Picked up two more bottles the next day. Worth every penny of the £36.
Nice but not blown away
It's decent champagne, well made and everything. Good acidity, pleasant enough. But at nearly £37 I think there are Crémants out there that give you more bang for your buck. Would drink it again but probably wouldn't seek it out.
Bit pricey for what it is
Got this as a gift and it's fine, perfectly drinkable champagne with a clean finish. But I've had £25 bottles that I enjoyed just as much if I'm being honest. The acidity is nice and sharp though, so it went well with the fish and chips we were having.
Great fizz for a dinner party
Had this at a friend's house and liked it enough to track down a bottle myself. Clean and precise, not too sweet, and it's got a nice long finish that keeps you coming back. Solid champagne for the money.
Proper champagne this
Bought this for my wife's birthday after the guy in Majestic recommended it. Really glad I did — it's got that lovely biscuity thing going on but stays fresh and crisp. At £36 it's not cheap but honestly it drinks like something more expensive. We polished off the bottle before the starters were even done.
Quietly excellent
Not a flashy champagne at all — no big brand name, no fancy bottle. But pour it and you notice how precise everything is. Really well structured with fruit and acidity in proper balance. Grabbed it on a whim from an independent wine shop and I'm glad I did.
