Domaine Charly Nicolle was created with less than one hectare in 1979 by Robert Nicolle and Josette Laroche, who can both trace their winemaking heritage 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 today the Domaine produces wine from 20 hectares of vines. In 1999, they were joined by their son Charly, who had just graduated from the lycée viticole. Charly is now 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 mostly around the family's beloved village of Fleys.

Per aspera ad astra—"through adversity to the stars"—honours both the dedication of the family's ancestors and the vine’s enduring struggle to flourish. This name also symbolizes the transformation of daily efforts into extraordinary pleasures. Sourced from parcels on the right bank of the Serein River in the heart of Chablis, the Per Aspera stands out for its remarkable balance and artisanal character.

The wine displays an enchanting nose, bursting with intoxicating aromas of summer flowers and ripe fruit. On the palate, its distinctive character is reminiscent of oysters and seashells, adding a unique and refined touch to its profile.

91 Points - Michael Godel

As per a label’s meaning, “Per aspera ad astra,” from rough roads to the stars. Reiterated because this is the crux of the Nicolle situation for proprietor Charly, he who has had to work hard to bring a mom and pop Chablis estate into the modern world. A very encouraging and duly impressive Chablis at the AC Villages level, searing and intense with enough flesh to expand on the palate in spite of the conglomerate Kimmeridgian and Portlandian elements desiring to dominate. Reels at first but then constructs a necessary balance to make this a very fine wine. Way to go Charly. Drink 2024-2028.
