Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
We’ve been following this estate for some time now and are delighted by Charly Nicolle’s professionalism and steady progress. Working the terroirs of Fleys—including the two premier crus, Les Fourneaux and the easternmost part of Mont de Milieu—he crafts a small selection of wines with great density on the palate, effectively highlighting the distinct minerality of each cru. This is a sure bet for the region.

About the estate:
Charly Nicolle's great-grandparents were already growing grapes. Following in the footsteps of previous generations, the young winemaker embarked on this adventure. Based in Fleys, east of Chablis, he established his own estate in 2011, tending to his 17 hectares of Chardonnay, and has established himself as a reliable name in the Chablis region. He also manages the family estate, La Mandelière, alongside his own venture.

Review by Mr. JACQUES R. Posted on March 3, 2025
It will undoubtedly be even better in a few years, but it’s already a delight to drink. Superb minerality, very typical of Chablis.
