Domaine Charly NicolleChablis Premier Cru Mont de Milieu 2024

When you want a white that speaks of stone and chalk rather than fruit alone, Mont de Milieu is the bottle to reach for. Domaine Charly Nicolle farms this premier cru with a quiet precision that shows in every glass.

The pale, straw-yellow colour sets the tone for a nose built on acacia blossom and pure, delicate floral notes drawn straight from the clay and limestone soil. On the palate, that same mineral character takes over, layered with ripe fruit that rounds out the finish. The wine lingers long, rich and remarkably fine.

Pour it alongside scallops or a simply grilled crab, and let it carry a dish of comté too if you're in that kind of mood. Serve it cool, around 12 degrees, so the minerality stays crisp.
