"Raved about by critics, this is the Chablis 1er Cru Favorite have in your cellar!"
"Another Favorite Charly Nicolle, following the one he received last year for his 'simple' Chablis Ante MCMLXXX 2022. This remarkable cuvée opens with toasty notes on the nose, reflecting the fact that 20% of the wine was aged in oak barrels. The palate is much more expressive: lively, full-bodied, and rich, it combines citrus notes—very present throughout the finish—with the minerality of the terroir and well-integrated oak. A wine that is at once sunny, powerful, and taut. 2028–2035” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

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 wine:
A hypnotic rustle of sea breeze and the delicate subtlety of green fruit complement the acidity of lemon zest and a strong mineral structure. Elegant and harmonious. Gold Medal 2025.

Another Favorite Charly Nicolle, following the one he received last year for his “simple” Chablis Ante MCMLXXX 2022. This remarkable cuvée opens with toasty notes on the nose, a hallmark of the aging process, 20% of which took place in oak barrels.

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.

A truly beautiful Chablis; the nose is enticing and the palate is delightful. Beautiful minerality, endless length—a superb wine that’s already ready to drink.
