Champagne Thierry Fournier Chardonnay NV

Started in 1983, the vineyard is currently run by fifth generation brothers Julien & Maxine. The vineyard has a total of 45 plots across the Vallee de la Marne, and the brothers craft authentic & elegant Champagnes that have a richness & structure to them

Grape Varietals & Region: A fusion of different terroirs across the Fournier estate in Valle de la Marne in Champagne, France. A 100% Chardonnay expression from parcels in Oeuilly in the Marne and Nesle-le-Reponds deep in the Flagot Valley. The clay soils in these communes are deeper than those found along the Côte des Blancs, making for a richer style of Chardonnay

Taste Profile: A bright Champagne with golden yellow hues, the nose reveals stone fruit, white flowers & an undertone of pastry. On the palate, it is rich, mineral with an elegance that comes with matured Chardonnay

Winemaking Process: The vintage is vinified in stainless steel with an addition of 30% reserve wine, before being aged on its own yeasts for over 36 months before the final dosage is added
