The domaine Paul Nicolle is firmly rooted in the village of Fleys, a winemaker village in the middle of the vines located just four kilometers from the town of Chablis. The Nicolle family traces their history in Fleys back to the late 19th century. The domaine was originally created by Paul Nicolle in the 1950s, and was then revived by his grandson Charly many decades later. The domaine has long applied integrated farming methods and is committed to sustainable agriculture through the HVE (High Environmental Value) certification.
The largest holdings of the domaine are in AOC Chablis, located mostly around the village of Fleys, including holdings in two premier crus: Les Fourneaux and Mont de Milieu. A total of six appellations are produced under Paul Nicolle's name: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru, Chablis Grand Cru, Vézelay, and Crémant de Bourgogne. For the still wines, élevage is done 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. Paul Nicolle is a classically styled domaine that consistently produces delicious wines each year that are both typical of Chablis and true to their own style.
In 2014, Charly’s wife Lucie Thieblemont purchased a few hectares of Pinot Noir close to Fleys to produce a Crémant de Bourgogne. Before joining the family domaine, Charly worked for a producer in Champagne, and so unlike most Crémants, Lucie and Charly do everything 100% in house, from vinification to hand-riddling to disgorgement “à la volée.”
Mont de Milieu is a rather cool premier cru site just north of Fleys, heading towards the cluster of Grand Crus. With comparatively less sun than other premier crus, Mont de Milieu always shows a higher acidity and racy profile. Wines from Paul Nicolle are fermented and aged in large horizontal stainless steel tanks which allow for extra contact with the lees. This results in a richly textured Chablis with minimal oak to ensure a bright and fresh flavor.
