2023 Domaine Charly Nicolle Les Fourneaux Chablis Premier Cru

The 2023 Domaine Charly Nicolle “Les Fourneaux” Chablis Premier Cru is a classic, mineral-driven Chardonnay from the village of Fleys, sourced from old vines rooted in Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils that give Chablis its hallmark precision and salinity.

Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged mostly in stainless steel with a small portion in oak and extended lees contact, it balances purity with subtle texture and depth.

The nose opens with citrus, green apple, and pear layered with white flowers, acacia, and a touch of almond and honey, while the palate is both lively and structured, showing bright acidity, a chalky mineral backbone, and a slightly creamy mid-palate.

The finish is long, saline, and precise with a hint of citrus and spice, offering both immediate freshness and the ability to age gracefully over the next decade.
