Champagne Veuve Fourny - Cuvée R Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru - Extra Brut

Key words: Wealth / Opulence / Gluttony

Wine: La Cuvée R (like Roger, one of the founding parents of Fourny) is a champagne of magnificent opulence and richness having been aged for 18 months in oak barrels. Gourmet and generous as desired, aromas of butter blend gracefully with a touch of vanilla as well as ripe white fruits. Notes of hazelnut and a praline aspect complete the complexity of this succulent bottle with ample material. A flavor whose richness will remind you of some fine Burgundy whites!
