"All the classic characteristics you'd 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 that same mineral tension, with fruit that holds its own. This wine, which exudes its terroir, offers both balance and energy. It pairs beautifully with a generous platter of seafood. 2025–2030” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
We have been following this estate for some time now and are delighted with 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 produces a small range of wines with great density on the palate, effectively highlighting the minerality unique to 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, in parallel.

A little too tart for my taste

Review and opinion by Mr. FRANCOIS I. Published on June 8, 2025
The nose offers grapefruit, a hint of exotic fruits, and a touch of fresh butter. It’s ripe with a mineral note—flint—and is quite aromatic and pleasant. On the palate, it’s very fresh with notes of citrus and oyster shell; the texture is still a bit firm, and the finish is mouth-watering and (very) salty. The length is decent; it’s a Chablis with lovely typicity, and the RQP is quite good (B+).

Review by Mr. JACQUES R. Published on 02/22/2025
A superb Chablis, with great depth, lovely minerality, and good length—well worth the price of a Premier Cru or Grand Cru.
