Poitout Winery was founded in 2003 by Chaterine and Louis Poitout. They both grew up in Chablis, and winemaking has always played a significant role in their lives. In just twenty years, they have built a substantial winery from scratch. The Poitout estate now encompasses some 18 hectares of vineyards, some of which are even classified as 1Cru Burgundy.
Poiout is a fusion of vineyards from each half of the Poitout family. Catherine, for example, brought in the vineyards in Chablis and Lignorelles. The vineyards in Maligny and Villy originally belonged to Louis Poitout's father, Michel Poitout. To further enhance the Poitout estate's prestige, they jointly purchased the vineyards in Fleys. This unique combination has allowed Poitout to develop into an impressive winery.
If any French wine has become famous worldwide, it's Chablis. Situated around the village of the same name, you'll find some of Burgundy's most beautiful vineyards. Chardonnay dominates the region, and this is also true of the vineyards of Poitout. This Chardonnay grape develops exceptionally well, thanks in part to the unique terroir where the vines are planted.
This Chablis from Poitout is truly exceptional. As soon as you open the bottle, you're immediately captivated by typical Chablis notes. You'll recognize refreshing citrus notes, but also striking nuances of minerals, flint, and acacia. The perfect combination of freshness and minerality! This makes Poitout Chablis also a great culinary pairing. Think creamy scallops or delicious, classic oysters.
