Variety

Chardonnay

The Paul Nicolle Chablis is a classic expression of the famous Chardonnay from Northern Burgundy. Light and crisp, it's a textbook bottle that shows why real Chablis is famous around the world. The domaine is managed by Charly Nicolle and his wife Lucie Thieblement, who used to be a chef at the Cote Saint Jacques, a nearby Michelin starred restaurant. The two met when Charly was delivering wine, and years later, Lucie is now working side by side with Charly at the winery.
