Jean Collet et Fils Chablis 1er Cru Forets 2022

12% abv

Vol- 75cl

Vines planted in 2008. Vinified in 90% concrete “eggs” and 10% barrel

“Open and charming, the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Les Forêts is another organically farmed cuvée, matured in concrete eggs and barrels. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, it’s evocative of citrus zest, crisp nectarine, white flowers and struck match.”
91 Points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate July 2022

“slightly riper if otherwise similar nose also reflects notes of smoky reduction and citrus confit though not quite the same floral influence. There is markedly better intensity to the denser and more powerful medium-bodied flavors that also flash more evident minerality on the moderately austere and quite dry finale. I like both the balance and the delivery and this is one to consider.” 90-92 points, Burghound, Aug 2023

The Collet family own 40 hectares of exceptional Chablis vineyards which they farm mainly organically, and the rest is in organic conversion. Romain Collet represents the new generation in charge of the Domaine. He took the reins in 2009, pioneering fermentations with ambient yeasts in 2010. Organic farming is increasingly being rolled out, and which wines are certified is indicated in our database. Collet harvests relatively ripe grapes and conducts fermentation and élevage in a variety of vessels, including stainless steel, concrete eggs and oak in formats ranging between old foudres and new barrels—the latter exclusively from Tonnellerie Cavin (run by a school friend). "Since my last visit before COVID-19, the wines seem to me to have taken another step up in quality; better integrated wood influence and even more vibrant flavors, despite seemingly ever-warmer vintages, mark this out as an estate to follow closely." William Kelley, The Wine Advocate, July 2022
