Jean Collet Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2017

Jean Collet Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2017 An expressive nose of aromatic citrus oils and pear. The palate comes in with the expected concentration. This wine is energetic, yet anchored in cool depths of limestone and chalk. It has a salty tang and the allure of textured pear peel and citrus pith. The Collets are the biggest owners on this hill with ten hectares divided up into fifteen different parcels. The Vaillons hill has extremely high concentration of limestone marls in the topsoil at about 70% of the soil constitution, with the rest composed of a little clay and organic matter. The somewhat steep slopes reach higher elevations than the hill to the south, Montmains, and its south-face brings the advantage in even-ripening across the entire hill, making for the separation of characteristics imparted to the grapes by each lieu-dit strongly based on soil structure. Hand harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts in 95% in stainless steel and 5% in wood. Temperature is controlled
