There is one response to “Charly Nicolle – 2024”
Hi Lars – sorry for a slow reply – but Hi from Chablis (again!)
The word missing from the description is ‘usually’ – the majority of domaines are using more wood for elevage – or sometimes stainless-steel barrels like Charly – as they want to ‘preserve’ their barrels (ie not let them dry out) in this very low volume vintage…
Bestest!

Hi Bill, concerning: 2024 Chablis 1er Fourneaux Vieilles-Vignes:
As I understand the text, 20% of this wine is aged in 400 liter barrels. However, you state that only 600 bottles are made which is app. 450 liters. 20% of 450 liters is 90 liters. So my understanding is that only 90 liters were aged in a 400-liters barrel. Doesn’t that give risk of a lot of unwanted oxidation when less than a quarter of the barrel is filled?
Kind regards Lars Simonsen
