Jean Collet started Domaine Collet in 1954, the heir of a Chablis grape-growing family since 1792. After the days of Jean, came Gilles, one of the most animated personalities in Chablis. In 2008, Gilles was struck with nerve damage on one side of his body and had to prematurely pass the baton to his son Romain. After only a few years of Romain putting new ideas to the test in the cellar and vineyard—natural yeast fermentations, organic and biodynamic farming, he began to make notable leaps from vintage to vintage. At the young age of 21, Romaine knocked it out of the park.
