Pale white peach in colour. Nose is showing flint, fresh stones and yellow fleshed fruits. Grabbing acidity, rounder mouthful than others from the Domaine and got “fatter” as it warmed and breathed. Touch of green fruits with some lemon marmalade on the finish. Texture and power is the star, with great length. Fantastic valued Chablis that is delightful now but don’t be afraid to put this down to add a layer of complexity.

Assembled yesterday having been in barrel and demi-muid. Light primrose colour. The nose shows more class than Montée de Tonnerre, with weight from both the site and the wood. Very mouthfilling yet balanced by good acidity behind, a little touch of toast, some white peaches but not undue heat.

The 2018 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru was fermented in 600-liter demi-muids. It has a well-defined bouquet of yellow flowers mixed with green apple and crushed flint, the classiest nose of the four 2018s that I tasted from Collet. The palate is well balanced with a tangy, orange peel opening. Harmonious, with just a very slight honeyed texture betraying that year’s summer, it has commendable depth on the finish and impressive persistence. Excellent. (Drink between 2022-2035)
