Jean Collet & Fils Chablis 2018
Chablis, Burgundy, FranceJean Collet started Domaine Collet in 1954, the heir of a Chablis grape-growing family since 1792. It passed down to his son, and how to grandson Romain, in charge of his first vintage at age 21 when his father fell ill. Romain moved the domaine to native yeast, and organic and biodynamic farming. This wine comes vineyards in Villy, Vallée du Valvent, Préhy, and the Valley de Chigot, all on kimmeridgian limestone marl bedrock and clay topsoil. Grapes were planted between 1978-83, underwent a native ferment with full MLF, and aged on lees in steel for 11 months with no batonnage. From the generous 2018 vintage, this is bedded with a lovely generous base of herbal lees, basing meyer lemon, ripe pear, orange blossom, threaded with tightening threads of tangerine pith. Friendly Chablis ready to drink now.Tasted: 01 December 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $40.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
