Domaine Jean Collet et fils Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 2022
Butteaux, from 35-year-old vines on blue clay soil, offers a rich, smooth profile with quince notes on the nose, a sharp yet rounded palate, and a finish of salted butter caramel.

"This one gets small oak treatment, which is apparent, though the intensity of the fruit carries it well. Yellow fruit, spice, ripe lemon, green olive and aniseed. It’s firm and fleshy, but has quite some energy, the acidity is present and sits so well within the wine, the texture is all crushed stone and chalk dust, and the finish is long, with ginger, lemon and honey in the aftertaste. There’s a subtle parmesan rind savoury character too. Needs maybe another year to settle, but such a good an emphatic bottle of Chablis here." 94 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
Romain Collet represents the fourth generation of winemakers of this Domaine. Their parcels are located on the best slopes on either side of the Serein river, with best exposure to create focussed and mineral wines in a classic style. Today the Domaine covers around 40ha from Petit Chablis, village, premier cru and grand cru holdings – Romain has already converted the entire cru production over to organic farming and intends to increase this ratio to 100% in the coming years.
