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.
"Ante MCMLXXX" means "before 1980," referring to old vines planted between 1965 and 1975. This cuvée offers notable depth, displaying a light golden hue when poured. Its rich aromatic profile is elevated by subtle notes of herbs and struck rock, supported by a soft texture and a well-balanced streak of acidity. Mineral nuances peak through layers of citrus rind, culminating in a long and memorable finish.
A great companion for white wine poached fish with cream sauce.
