The wine : This delicious Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is probably the most pure and consensual of the champagnes in the Fourny brothers' range.

The bubbles are fine and airy and a lovely mineral imprint also emerges from the whole. An ideal Champagne for an aperitif or at the table, sure to delight every palate!
