“All the classic characteristics you’d expect from a Chablis: velvety, mineral, and supremely elegant!”

“With its beautiful pale yellow color, this Chablis has plenty to offer, starting with its intense, mineral (oyster shell) and salty nose. On the palate, this same mineral tension carries the wine throughout, with fruit that holds its own. Balance and energy define this wine, which exudes its terroir. It pairs beautifully with a platter of seafood. 2025–2030” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100

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.
