Wine Profile:

This is an English summary of the provided text about the terroir of Domaine Jean Collet's Chablis:

The Chablis wines from Domaine Jean Collet are sourced from diverse terroirs, all located on limestone soils from the Upper Jurassic era (Kimmeridgian and Portlandian). The domain's distinction lies in its presence on the oldest soils of the Chablis region (the finage Chablisien), spanning both the Left Bank (specifically the Valvan Valley and the famous Pargues hillside) and the Right Bank, where the soils are richer in marls. Furthermore, the domain benefits from an invaluable genetic heritage in the commune of Villy: their Old Vines are a mass selection dating back to 1932, originally planted by the grandfather of Dominique Collet.
