Domaine Jean Collet, Chablis 2021

Domaine Jean Collet has been cultivating grapes in Chablis since 1792. This appellation wine comes from vineyards on Kimmeridgian soil, the famous clay interspersed with fossilized oyster shells that defines the character of good Chablis.

What you smell
Green apple, citrus zest, and a cool, stony undertone reminiscent of wet limestone after a rain shower.

What you taste
Crisp and vibrant with an acidity that keeps your mouth fresh without being sharp. The salty, mineral undertone adds depth to what is otherwise an uncomplicated, thirst-quenching wine. Short, clean finish.

How it's made
100% Chardonnay, fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. No wood, so all attention goes to fruit and terroir.

Serve
Serve chilled, around 10-11°C. Decanting is not necessary. Best enjoyed now.

Pairs well with

  • Fresh oysters: the wine's saltiness mirrors that of the oyster, while the acidity cuts through the iodized fat.
  • Steamed mussels: the mineral tone connects with the shellfish, and the fresh acidity keeps the dish light.
  • Goat cheese salad: the crisp acidity balances the creaminess of the cheese, and the citrus notes uplift the vegetables.

Scores

  • Decanter: 92/100
  • Burghound: 89-91/100
  • Robert Parker Wine Advocate: 89/100
  • Jasper Morris: 87-89/100

Chablis ligt zo ver noordelijk dat het dichter bij Champagne ligt dan bij de rest van Bourgondië. Één druif, Chardonnay, op een bodem vol fossiele oesterschelpen, levert er een strakke, mineralige witte wijn zonder de boterige houttoon die je elders van deze druif kent.
