This is the G&R Collet Recolte Chablis - another moderate bodied Chablis - medium yellow color, peach nose, continues on the palate; no acidic finish. J doesn’t love, thinks it’s over oaked, maybe that’s her sensitivity to Chardonnay - I’m not getting but agree falls short of the Saint Come. Can NOT drink cold — 6 days ago

2022 vintage. Delicious, giving, supple, accessible and inexpensive. Under $20 USD resto cost. The Aligoté expression is more of an accent mark vs a lifestyle choice so it is never overwhelming or weird but exactly the opposite. Bobs and weaves and seeks the nuance. Perfect warm weather wine. 04.25.27. — 9 months ago
2021 vintage. Yet another 1er Cru (or village) Chablis that's rocking don't bother knocking. Light-medium/medium body with citrus spritz elements, minerals and drinkability. Consistent palate push throughout. Actually more affordable than it should be given the quality of the effort. 04.23.25. — 9 months ago
Popped and poured; no formal notes. Consumed over two days with consistent performance both nights. “Les Fôrets” is a lieu dit inside of Montmains. Romain ferments in a combination of 90% cement egg and 10% foudre. This is my kind of 1er Cru Chablis. There is an abundance of energy. Bright, crisp tropical fruits that lean more towards the star fruit side of things. There is lemon citrus and loads of minerals. The oak treatment is extremely light and imparts more to the texture than anything else. The finish is long, refreshing and super satisfying. Really lovely stuff. — 4 years ago

@Delectable Wine - This is the 2021 Dominique & Romain Collet Chablis Premier Cru Montee de Tonnerre. The nose combines classic Chablis scents of lemon-drenched dried oyster shells and limestone, with perhaps just a tad too much clovey new oak. On the palate, the initial attack is great, with zingy acidity and lemony fruit. The mid-palate is a little disappointing for lack of concentration, though the flavors are quite nice. Finishes a tad short for a wine with this pedigree (i.e., good producer and great climat). I like it a lot but am a prisoner to my higher expectations. — 16 days ago
