The Fourny brothers farm close to four acres of 60-year-old chardonnay vines for this Brut Nature, aging it on the lees for 30 months. They present it without dosage, allowing the deep flavors to show in all their brisk intensity. It feels youthful, with notes of lemon, pear and chalk in mouthwatering tension. A clean, fresh Champagne to enjoy with raw shellfish, or to cellar for several years. ... More details

The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Nature is 100% Chardonnay bottled with no dosage. It is a gorgeous, striking wine endowed with layers of pure, crystalline fruit. Mint, flower, sweet herbs and minerals are some of the notes that meld together on the seamless finish. This is a pure, utterly impeccable wine.

This too is beautifully elegant with strikingly well-layered aromas of pungent yeast, quinine, green apple and a whisper of petrol. This impression of refinement is enhanced by the notably fine mousse supporting the middle weight flavors that culminate in a crisp, citrusy and youthfully austere finish. This could easily be enjoyed now but I would be inclined to hold it for at least another 2 to 3 years first.

Bright and well-balanced, this is satiny in texture, with the mousse and mouthwatering acidity carrying flavors of pear tart, lime blossom and candied ginger. Offers a crunchy, smoke-tinged finish.
Winery
Made only from Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes which is harvested by hand, Brut Nature is a champagne with no dosage. In harmony with its citrus notes, finesse, fruity and balanced palate, it is bursting with intensity and freshness. It will bring out the richness and diversity of seafood at the start of any meal.

Varietal: Champagne Blend

There are few wine regions of the world with as much influence or fame as that of Champagne in France. The sparkling wines from this special area have long been associated with excellence and magnificent flavors, and much of their success has been down to the careful blending of fine grape varietals in order to achieve spectacular results. Most commonly, Champagne wines use both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietal grapes in more or less equal measures, often boosted by a small quantity of Pinot Meunier for extra bite. The Chardonnay varietal grapes offer their acidity and flavor to the bottle, and help with the dryness associated with quality in this type of wine. The Pinot Noir, on the other hand, gives strength to the wine, and gives Champagne its distinctive 'length' of character.

Region: Champagne

The north-easterly region of Champagne in France is amongst the most famous and well respected wine regions in the world. It's principle produce, the elegant sparkling white wines made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Petit Meunier grape varietals, have consistently grown in popularity for hundreds of years, and are still the sparkling wines of choice for most people across the globe. The region is quite an unusual one, in many ways. The high altitude and cool climate make it difficult for the grapes to ripen, but it is helped enormously by the mineral-rich, chalky soils which typify the region, and the heavily forested areas which help maintain moisture in the soil and an even temperature. The wineries of the region have generations of expertise, and know exactly how to make the most of their grape varietals, resulting in the distinctive and famous wines of Champagne we know and love.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
