Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Intense, like a Grand Cru, should be, with rich concentration, some showy oak at this young age, which should integrate nicely over the next few years, adding to the complexity and length. White and yellow stone fruit, savory citrus and oyster shell notes, a touch of saline, and rich mouthfeel with a long, zesty, citrusy finish. FANTASTIC. For this price?! We can’t get enough.

Collet's section is on the right side (northwest face) of this wedge toward the top of the Valmur vineyard, and it's a true Grand Cru in every sense. Nestled high up on the slope and facing slightly northwest — the other main face sits opposite and faces south. Thanks to gravity, the relatively shallow topsoil (by Grand Cru standards) is comprised of hard Portlandian scree, Kimmeridgian marl bedrock, and Marne (limestone-rich clay, slightly greyish in color compared to vineyards on the left bank of the Serein).

The young Romain Collet, who started his own Domaine in 2009, has stunned the wine world with his site-specific wines. Since he took over for his gregarious father, who suffered a stroke in 2008, he converted the family's extensive holdings to organic farming, which has paid off in more expressive and transparent wines.

With less than 15 cases imported to the U.S., this wine will FLY. Grand Cru Valmur Chablis doesn't get better than Romain Collet at this price!

About the Producer

The Collet family has been making wine in Chablis since 1792 and the torch has been passed from generation to generation. The estate went from selling to negociants in 1952 to producing their first vintage in 1979 under their own label. Gilles Collet, who helped his father Jean with the winemaking and who is also remembered as one of the most animated personalities in Chablis. He made spectacular wine and was the "life of the party." Gilles had to pass the torch to his son in 2008, due to his health but had the utmost faith and trust in his son to carry on his legacy. The estate is now managed by Romain Collet who is now the fourth generation of Collets in Chablis. He studied winemaking at the school in Beaune and had various internships in France and New Zealand. Romain truly believes that each wine has a voice and he has taken the necessary steps to exemplify the natural talents of their many different climates.
