Champagne Veuve Fourny 2017 Monts Vertus Blanc de Blancs 1.Cru extra brut 0.75l

The Chardonnay grapes for this Champagne come exclusively from the single vineyard Monts de Vertus and grow on 50-year-old vines in cool, fertile soils. The fine wine spends five years on the lees before being bottled. With a beautiful straw-yellow color and elegant bubbles, it impresses in the glass. Its aromas of toasted brioche and apricots delight the nose, followed by notes of ripe lemons and licorice. Times are changing, even in Champagne. The future there, as the present proves, belongs to high-quality grower Champagnes and small Champagne houses that own their own vineyards, thus avoiding complete dependence on their grape suppliers. One such impressive house is our new family-run Champagne Veuve Fourny et Fils in the Premier Cru village of Vertus.
