"More in tension and concentration than the other stove, the gap is marked, superb density in the mouth, still too young but bright future, undoubtedly the best source for the vintage." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2020) A signature vintage!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2020 guide) 16.5/20 (Reference wine)

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

About the wine:

More tension and concentration than the other stove, the gap is marked, superb density on the palate, still too young but with a bright future, undoubtedly the best source for this vintage.

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.

About the wine:

The quality of a wine is not determined by a number, even a Roman one. Nevertheless, Charly Nicolle has given his own signature to this new cuvée, made from vines planted before 1980, the year he was born. The floral nose is not disturbed by a discreet woodiness. As for the palate, it's dominated by minerality, making this a straightforward wine that's still a little strict.

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.
