Dominique & Romain Collet 2022 Bourgogne Rouge Les Vaux de l'Aumone
Elegant, precise, and quietly expressive, this Bourgogne Rouge delivers classic Pinot Noir purity with finesse rather than force. The 2022 Les Vaux de l’Aumône offers bright red fruit, supple texture, and refined minerality—an excellent expression of high-quality, terroir-driven Burgundy at the regional level.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Domaine Dominique & Romain Collet, a respected family estate based in Chablis, this Bourgogne Rouge comes from carefully selected Pinot Noir parcels in Burgundy, crafted with the same attention to detail the domaine applies to its highly regarded Chablis wines. The vineyard Les Vaux de l’Aumône benefits from well-drained soils and a cool Burgundian climate that preserves freshness and aromatic clarity.
The 2022 vintage was marked by excellent ripeness balanced by natural acidity, allowing the Collet family to produce a wine of purity and structure. Traditional Burgundian vinification is employed, with gentle extraction to protect fruit expression, followed by élevage primarily in neutral oak to frame the wine without overshadowing its delicate character.

Wine Enthusiast has praised the domaine’s Pinot Noir for its clarity of fruit and polished structure, while Vinous frequently highlights the finesse and balance achieved in warm, successful vintages like 2022. Critics often emphasize the wine’s value-driven elegance and its faithful representation of classic Burgundy style.
