Veuve Fournay et Fils Blanc de Blanc Extra Brut 1er Cru

Such a refreshing, delicious Champagne! Veuve Fourny et Fils Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 1er Cru is an exquisite Champagne from the Côte des Blancs in France, crafted by the family-run Veuve Fourny estate, renowned for their dedication to premier cru vineyards and meticulous winemaking. This Blanc de Blancs, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from premier cru sites in Vertus, showcases the pure elegance and minerality of the terroir. Its pale gold color is illuminated by a delicate stream of fine bubbles. On the nose, it reveals enticing aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and freshly baked bread, enriched by subtle almond and chalky mineral notes. The palate is both vibrant and refined, with flavors of green apple, lemon, and hints of toasted brioche, balanced by a taut minerality and bright acidity that leads to a crisp, ultra-dry finish. Produced in the Extra Brut style, with minimal dosage, this Champagne emphasizes purity and precision, allowing the character of the Chardonnay and terroir to shine. Veuve Fourny employs the traditional Champagne method, aging this cuvée on the lees to enhance complexity and depth. The Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 1er Cru pairs beautifully with oysters, delicate seafood dishes, or as an aperitif, offering a sophisticated expression that epitomizes the Côte des Blancs region and the Fourny family’s commitment to quality.
