Our Domaine - l'historique

Jean Collet (1952)

Gilles, Jean, Marius et Romain (1991)

Dominique, Romain, Gilles
Jean Collet, son of the Chablis winemaker Marius, created the Domaine Jean Collet in 1952, at which date he owned 61 ares of vines. He began to sell his harvest in bulk to the “négociants” (wine wholesalers), and then in 1954 bottled a part of this harvest, followed by exporting a part of this production to the USA in 1959.
In 1979, Gilles joined his father and their winemaking operation became Domaine Jean Collet et Fils. At this date, the area of the Domaine was 15 hectares.
Romain, the son of Gilles, now represents the fourth generation of Collets in Chablis. He definitively returned to the family Domaine for the 2009 harvest (having studied winemaking at school in Beaune – with various internships at differenct wineries in France-, and working abroad at a winery in New Zealand).
The winery and the cellar are located in the heart of the village of Chablis, where tradition and modernism live together, which represents the perfect picture of this family, so proud of their winemaking know-how.
Naturally very reactive and concerned to best serve their customers, the Collet family have never hesitated to invest in their Domaine, and this practice continues. It is important that only the best bottles find their way to your table.

The philosophy of Domaine Collet represents a struggle to work the vines within a framework of reasonable viticole practices, which aims to give value to the very unique terroir of Chablis This is done by respecting the soil and managing the yields of each harvest.
Since 1999, a parcel of Chablis “Chablis Truffières” has been cultivated following the principles of organic agriculture: An exclusive organic amendment, with a phytosanitary treatment exclusively using authorized organic products, labouring the ground and applying a simple Guyot trim of the vines.
Always in keeping with the spirit of tradition, our Chablis “Les Truffières” is grown and vinified in the most natural way possible, and matured in stainless steel tanks.
