Jean Collet Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 2021
Jean Collet Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 2021
Butteaux is the southernmost of three Premier Cru climats that make up the wider Chablis Montmains Premier Cru umbrella title. Butteaux's steep slope and its limestone-rich soils mark it out as a high-performing terroir. Chardonnay-based wines from Butteaux tend to be powerful and steely, with subtle characters of stonefruit and apple.
Afull year in stainless steel, with just a brief layover in used barrels before bottling, creates a particularly pure, crystalline expression of the outstanding Butteaux vineyard, one unencumbered or unduly influenced by toast or char. The wine is nutty and complex, each swirl dense with chalky citrus notes, structure, and élan. It is a wine that you can slowly ponder if you so wish, but pondering is by no means a prerequisite for enjoyment.
