Collet Chablis Vieilles Vignes 19

In just over a decade, winemaker Romain Collet has turned his family’s reliable if unremarkable domaine into one of the very best sources in Chablis. The wine press has taken notice too; William Kelley finds “a lot to admire here,” and Jasper Morris recently opined that Romain Collet “is moving towards joining the pantheon in Chablis.”

Jasper Morris called the 2019 Chablis VV “a highly impressive old vine Chablis.” Drawn from soils with very little clay, this is classic, old-school Chablis, full of dry extract and brilliant freshness. Look for dry citrus notes in the nose with oysters shells, salt spray, and melon. The mouth is long, stony and dry, with chiseled texture and not a shred of oak.
