Right in the heart of Chablis, Domaine Jean Collet was established in 1952 by Jean Collet, son of Marius and Agnès. The family tends to around 40 hectares of vines, beautifully spread across the prime slopes of both the right and left banks of the Serein River. With some vines averaging an impressive 91 years old, the domaine perfectly captures the essence of Chablis’ unique mineral-rich subsoils and its distinctive terroir.
The Grand Cru Valmur is bright and vibrant, with flavours of lemon curd, pear, and a salty, stony finish that goes on and on. The balance between the fresh acidity and the creamy texture is spot on - pure and polished, without feeling heavy.
Optimal drinking window: Now - 2035
What the critics say:
"Still in barrel, to be racked and assembled at the harvest and bottled next spring. Fresh mid yellow colour. Here the oak shows in the form of coconut. Quite a block of flavour, then lactic notes from the barrel, behind which the fruit reasserts itself. Not yet all in harmony, but I think this will come together, such is the volume of fruit. Drink from 2025-2030. Tasted Jun 2022."
