Champagne Veuve Fourny & Fils, Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru NV
The Wine
100% Chardonnay, sourced from vines over 40 years old aged - hand harvested - aged for min of 2.5 yrs on lees with 20% reserve wines included in the blend. Overdelivers in spades for the money - great Ruinart BdB lookalike for a fraction of the price!
95 pts James Halliday's Top 100 2023 'A personal favourite of mine. Its foundation is three consecutive vintages, with 20% of reserve wines. Extensive use of French oak during maturation...The bouquet is flowery, the palate gently filled with honey and brioche.'
