2024 L&C Poitout Chablis Premier Cru Les Fourneaux

The 2024 L&C Poitout Chablis Premier Cru Les Fourneaux, also known as Opallion, is a refined Chardonnay from the steep, semi-stony Les Fourneaux Premier Cru vineyard near Fleys. The nose is lifted and elegant, showing mint, honeysuckle and white flowers followed by fresh apple and pear, with a subtle mineral character reflecting the limestone-rich Chablis terroir.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied and precise with bright acidity, fresh citrus and orchard fruit supported by a pronounced mineral line. Lemon and apple give way to subtle almond notes, while the texture remains fluid and finely balanced. The finish is long, fresh and persistent, combining the elegance and tension expected of Premier Cru Chablis with good depth and concentration.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Chablis drinkers who enjoy elegant Chardonnay with bright acidity, citrus freshness and pronounced minerality. Enjoy now for its youthful precision or cellar over the next 3–7 years for further development. Pair with oysters, scallops, grilled fish, prawns, roast chicken or creamy seafood dishes.
