NV Champagne Veuve Fourny & Fils Vertus Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut Premier Cru

Taste: Veuve Fourny & Fils Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs is a Chardonnay-based Champagne that combines precision with approachability, making it a strong choice for both seasoned wine drinkers and those new to the category. Sourced from Premier Cru vineyards and crafted as a non-vintage blend, this wine embodies a consistent house style characterized by finesse and clarity. On the palate, it opens with bright notes of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, supported by a linear structure and firm acidity. These fresh fruit flavors are layered with subtle brioche and almond tones, the result of extended ageing on the lees, which also contributes to its refined texture and delicate bubbles. The wine’s dry finish—due to a low dosage typical of Extra Brut or Brut Nature styles—highlights its mineral core, often described as chalky or flinty. There are also quieter hints of ginger, floral notes, and quince that emerge with time in the glass. Pairing: The Champagne Veuve Fourny & Fi
