A #Chablis l’avance de la végétation par rapport à la moyenne croit. Elle est aujourd’hui de 11 à 12 jours. Selon la Chambre d’Agriculture les 2/3 des parcelles du réseau sont au stade petit pois. Le ‘retard’ sur 2007 et 2011, très précoces, n'est plus que de quelques jours.
2014 is a WONDERFUL #PureChablis vintage, packed with racy structure & solid concentration that will give this wine very good age-ability. That PLUS this wine’s 46-year-old vines...bring it! @ColletChablis Romain Collet 2014 Butteaux Premier Cru
This #PureChablis already has a super pretty, golden hue. It’s boldly Chablisienne in a citrusy & chalky way w/ highly ripe yellow apple character. For a 2014, there’s a surprising+very cool combo of sumptuous fruit plied w/mineral freshness & a long, salty finish. @ColletChablis
Romain @ColletChablis appreciates this #Butteaux parcel for its high concentration of large rock, Kimmeridgian debris that gives the wine firm structure. He ferments in stainless steel then ages in old #Burgundy barrels for 16 months. #PureChablis
2014 was Romain’s 6th vintage to work with his own vines. From the start, he’s worked with #organic viticulture. However, he’s been working in the @ColletChablis family domaine, which dates back to 1792, much longer. #PureChablis (📷: @canterburywine)
