Description
Characteristics and tasting notes of Veuve Fourny & Fils Rosé Brut Premier Cru
Tasting
Appearance
A luminous rosé hue with salmon or raspberry glints, animated by a fine and persistent effervescence.
Nose
Delicate and precise, it reveals aromas of red and black fruits such as strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant and blackcurrant, before opening onto indulgent notes of pastry and brioche.
Palate
Fresh, subtle and balanced. The attack is lively, offering a creamy, elegant texture supported by delicate tannins, ending on a mouth-watering finish of impressive length.
Food and wine pairings
Ideal as an aperitif before a meal, this wine also pairs wonderfully with sweet-and-savoury dishes, such as duck breast with red berries or Asian-inspired cuisine. At the end of a meal, it beautifully enhances lightly sweetened desserts made with small red berries.
Serving and storage
To fully appreciate the finesse of the non-vintage Rosé Brut Premier Cru, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 6 and 8°C.
The fruity elegance of a Rosé Champagne from Veuve Fourny & Fils
The estate
Founded in 1930, Veuve Fourny & Fils is a family-run house located at the heart of the Champagne wine region. Now led by the fifth generation, embodied by brothers Charles and Emmanuel Fourny, the estate cultivates around twenty hectares of vines centred on the prestigious terroir of Vertus. Certified High Environmental Value, this artisanal estate stands out for its deep attachment to its terroir and its traditional know-how, perfectly illustrated by its famous motto: "One family, one clos, one Premier Cru".
The vineyard
The grapes come exclusively from plots classified as Premier Cru, notably located in Vertus, in Champagne. The vines, averaging forty years of age, grow on brown soils resting on chalk. The estate practices environmentally friendly viticulture, favouring organic fertilisers and completely excluding the use of insecticides.
The blend
This Rosé Champagne is the result of a blend of three consecutive vintages. It also includes 30% reserve wines, carefully preserved in oak barrels.
Winemaking and aging
Crafted from first-press juices, the non-vintage Brut Premier Cru Rosé is vinified using traditional methods. The Pinot Noir intended for maceration is hand-crushed. The base wines, whether made from Pinot Noir vinified as white or red, or from Chardonnay, benefit from seven months of aging on lees. The wine is then aged in bottle on lees in the house's cellars, at a low and constant temperature, for at least two years.
Grape varieties
Approximately 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir.
