Domaine Jean Collet et Fils, Chablis. View Agency Profile

Picked from AC vineyards around the villages of Chablis and Préhy and fermented and matured in stainless steel. This is everything you’d expect from a Chablis – refreshing fruit, excellent minerality and high acidity, all encased by a lovely creamy texture.

The Kimmeridgien soil of the Montee de Tonnerre is classic for Chablis with its alternating layers of compacted chalky limestone and softer clay embedded with fossilized marine life. A distinctive expression of the wine of the Montee de Tonnerre is a floral nose and this wine has a wonderful bouquet of honeysuckle and geranium. The clean, bright fruit really shines through and the finish is savoury and spicy. Fermented and matured in Burgundian oak casks.

This wine is very indicative of the focused 2007 vintage with precise dried fruit and nut flavours, and pithy, gun-flinty minerality. It is fermented in stainless steel then matured in oak ‘fourdes’ for a year which has given the wine softness and body.
