"All the typicality you'd expect from a Chablis!
" One of the appellation's finest cuvées, made from vines planted before 1980. The seduction begins on the nose, where lemony, honeyed aromas are underlined by a slightly woody nuance. In the same aromatic register, the palate is full, rich and fat, with a lively finish. Power combined with finesse". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as 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.

About the wine:
One of the appellation's finest cuvées, made from vines planted before 1980. The seduction begins on the nose, where lemony, honeyed aromas are underlined by a slightly woody nuance. In the same aromatic register, the palate is full, rich and fat, with a lively finish. Power combined with finesse.
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.
