"All the characteristics you would expect from a Chablis: velvety, mineral, and superbly elegant!"
"With its beautiful pale yellow color, this Chablis has plenty to offer, starting with its intense, mineral (oyster shell) and salty nose. This is followed by a palate carried throughout by the same mineral tension, with fruit that is not to be outdone. This wine exudes balance and energy, reflecting its terroir. It would be perfect with a beautiful seafood platter. 2025-2030" (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
We have been following this estate for some time now and are delighted with Charly Nicolle's serious approach and steady progress. Working the terroirs of Fleys, including the two premier crus Les Fourneaux and the easternmost part of Mont de Milieu, he produces a small range of wines with great density on the palate, bringing out the minerality specific to each cru. This is a sure bet for the sector.

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