However, the modern domaine takes its name from Jean Collet, who began independently working a modest holding of just 61 ares of vines in 1952. Prior to Jean's tenure, all the wine produced by his ancestors was sold in bulk to local négociants. He proudly bottled the estate's very first independent vintage in 1954 and achieved his first international export to the United States a mere five years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eToday, \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eDomaine Jean Collet\u003c\/b\u003e represents a brilliant continuation of this familial dedication.

The Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru vineyard is located on the right bank of the Serein next to the Grands Crus and its aspect allows the vines to bask in ample sunshine, contributing to the optimal ripening of the grapes. The hallmark of Chablis is the unique Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, very rich in marine fossils and in particular in Exogyra Virgula, a small oyster typical of the region. This combination of terroir, sunlight exposure and soil composition creates wines with exceptional finesse, complexity and sense of place. Domaine Jean Collet's two hectares of Montée de Tonnerre is now 40 years old and is managed organically. The wine is vinified in barrel. On the nose the Chablis Montée de Tonnerre displays enticing aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers and hints of ripe stone with sweet woody notes of Burgundy oak. The palate is beautifully balanced between the vibrant acidity and rich fruit flavours, culminating in a crisp, refreshing and lengthy finish.
