Champagne Veuve Fourny 2015 Monts Vertus, Blanc de Blancs 1st Cru, extra brut, 12% vol

The Chardonnay grapes used in champagne come exclusively from the Monts de Vertus vineyard and grow on 50-year-old vines on cold soil. The fine drop rests on the yeast for 5 years before the bottles are sold. With a beautiful straw yellow color and elegant perlage, it impresses in the glass. Its scent of roasted brioche and apricots lifts the nose, followed by aromas of ripe lemons and liquorice. Times change, also in Champagne. The future belongs there, as the present proves, to high-quality winegrowers and small champagne houses that have their own vineyards, so that they are not completely dependent on their grape suppliers. One such impressive house is our new family business Champagne Veuve Fourny et Fils in the Premier Cru town of Vertus.
