Champagne Veuve Fourny - Rosé 1er Cru - Brut

Key words: Red fruits / Character / Roundness / Complexity

The wine: The Fourny family delights us once again with this sublime Champagne Rosé 1er Cru Brut. The color is beautifully intense and a superb aromatic palette bursts on the palate: expressive small red fruits, brioche notes and hazelnut, this bottle definitely has a beautiful character racy. A treat of complexity that can be enjoyed as an aperitif or at the table, and particularly with a red fruit dessert. Delicious!

The estate: The two brothers Charles-Henry and Emmanuel Fourny are at the head of the domaine Veuve Fourny since 1993. They represent the 5th family generation of this superb estate whose vines are mainly located in Vertus (Côte des Blancs). The soils are limestone, chalky and the winemaking process is very minimalist (native yeasts, low dosages only made with sugar from grapes, etc.). The grape varieties are more than 90% made up of Chardonnay and the vineyard has an average age of around 40-45 years. The estate produces local Champagnes offering beautiful roundness and tenderness while maintaining superb balance and very great precision. A must-know house for lovers of blanc de blanc champagnes!
