Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Vey François de Nicolay 2019
The wine
This Chablis premier cru offers a delicate and complex aromatic bouquet. Notes of white flesh fruits, flowers and minerals abound. Taut and lightly acidic, the palate also reveals great aging potential. The perfect wine to enjoy with delicate foods.
Having lived in Paris for a few years, François de Nicolaÿ, chose to take over the running of the family domain in Savigny-lès-Beaune (Chandon de Briailles) in the early 2000s. Alongside this prestigious estate, he decided to start his own wine trading business under his own name – François de Nicolaÿ.
For these wines, he uses grapes that are certified organic or biodynamic so that he can show off their full characteristics and the terroirs where they grow. Vinification and ageing are conducted naturally without any additives (some wines are natural while others have a bit of sugar added to them) in an old cellar in Savigny-Lès-Beaune. There is no pumping over or punching down, neither is the wine filtered or clarified. Tasting these wines will leave you wanting more; they are delicious with an airy character. We also enjoy them for their purity.
As the business grows as does the range while the prices remain reasonable for the appellations.
