"Light golden yellow color. Young, seductive nose with scents of apple and pear flesh, delicately floral in the background. Full-bodied, with a warm attack and the same aromatic range. The firmer finish contributes to its balance". (Le Guide des Vins 2016 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

We've been following this domaine for some time now, and are delighted with the seriousness and steady progress of Charly Nicolle. Exploiting the terroirs of Fleys, including the two premiers crus Les Fourneaux and the easternmost part of Mont de Milieu, he extracts a short range with great density on the palate, bringing out the minerality of each cru. A sure bet for the sector.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (2018 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Domain rated (guide 2024) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

an expressive wine (citrus fruits, almonds, brioche), generous, smooth and round on the palate, refined and elongated by a fine acid structure.

About the domain :

Charly Nicolle's great-grandparents already cultivated vines. Following in the footsteps of previous generations, the young winemaker set off on his own adventure. Settled in Fleys, to the east of Chablis, he created his own domaine in 2011, nurturing his 17 ha of Chardonnay, and has established himself as an established name in Chablis. He also runs the family domaine of La Mandelière.
