Jean Collet et Fils Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2023
Chablis, Burgundy, FranceI tasted this in March, and it is every bit as good today. It is Premier Cru with a bit of Grand Cru exterior. The nose is a mix of white fruits with a light dusting of pepper. On the palate, layers of ripe citrus and saline/oyster liqueur, with an excellent mid-weight palate with a stony, flinty underside. Warm weather has enlarged this wine. It still has the intensity and structure you want, but is more hedonistic than complex. Perfect for restaurants, and you can find this on the Reserve list at Earls. Collet operates with certified organic grapes that are hand harvested and fermented wild in 95% stainless steel, 5% wood. All the wines go through malolactic fermentation and are aged 1/3 in stainless steel vats, 1/3 in 80 hl oak barrels, and 1/3 in Burgundy barrels.Tasted: 12 August 2025Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $56.00 | 750ml | select private retailers; Earls |
