Domaine Charly Nicolle Chablis Grand Cru 'Bougros' 2020

About the Producer

Domaine Charly Nicolle was created with less than one hectare in 1979 by Robert Nicolle and Josette Laroche, who can both trace their history from winemaking families in Fleys back to the late 19th century. Since the creation of the domaine, they have increased the size of their vineyards bit by bit, and currently the domaine produces wine from 20 hectares of vines. In 1999, they were joined by their 20 year old son Charly, who had just graduated from the lycée viticole. Today, Charly is officially in charge of the domaine together with his wife Lucie, but Robert is still out in the vines nearly every day. The largest holdings of the domaine are in AOC Chablis, located for the most part around the village of Fleys. The vinification is on the lees in stainless steel tanks, which produces a house style that is both fresh and vibrant, but also rich on the mid-palate.

Taste

Winemakers tasting note: With hues of yellow straw, this brilliant wine shines with bright clarity, filling the nose with delicate, pure aromas. Floral notes from its clay-limestone origins reign. In mouth, its character, the terroir and all the qualities of a Grand Cru are revealed: mineral and rich, powerful ripe fruit.

Wine Press / Awards

92 Points - International Wine Report. 2012 Vintage: This comes from the area of Bougros with in Chablis and the vines here are between 50-60 years-old. The wine itself offers lovely aromas of lime, exotic citrus, musk, toasted hazelnut, lemon cream, smoke and hints of ocean mist. It continues to impress with an array of gorgeous pure fruit on the dense, lush palate. I would allow this another year or so in bottle and enjoy it over the next decade.
