As per a label's meaning, 'Per aspera ad astra,' from rough roads to the stars. Reiterated because this is the crux of the Nicolle situation for proprietor Charly, he who has had to work hard to bring a mom and pop Chablis estate into the modern world. A very encouraging and duly impressive Chablis at the AC Villages level, searing and intense with enough flesh to expand on the palate in spite of the conglomerate Kimmeridgian and Portlandian elements desiring to dominate.
