Wine Enthusiast
With its beautiful, clear straw-gold color and floral nose with hints of acacia, the uniqueness of Les Fourneaux is apparent from the first sip. The palate is finely crafted, with white flower aromas expressing themselves magnificently. The minerality subtly highlights the typical characteristics of this wine, which is extremely pure and has a beautiful length. A signature cuvée!

About the estate:
We have been following this estate for some time now and are delighted with Charly Nicolle's serious approach and steady progress. Working the terroirs of Fleys, including the two premier crus Les Fourneaux and the easternmost part of Mont de Milieu, he produces a small range of wines with great density on the palate, bringing out the distinctive minerality of each cru. This is a sure bet for the sector.

About the estate:
Charly Nicolle's great-grandparents were already growing grapes. Following in the footsteps of previous generations, the young winemaker embarked on his own adventure. Based in Fleys, east of Chablis, he created his own estate in 2011, carefully tending his 17 hectares of Chardonnay vines, and has established himself as a reliable producer in the Chablis region. He also runs the family estate of La Mandelière.
