Champagne "R" Premier Cru Vve Fourny & Fils Vertus Extra Brut
"The Cuvée R Extra Brut is named for the Fournys’ father Roger, who
preferred to use a little pinot in his blends—it’s a blend of 90
percent chardonnay and 10 percent pinot noir, as his wines often were.
Fermented and aged entirely in barrique, it’s always a blend of two
vintages, and spends four years in the cellars before release. The backbone of the Cuvée R is the fruit from old vines in a lieu-dit
called Les Barillées, on the heart of the mid-slope of Vertus, which
gives dense, sleekly powerful chardonnay." Peter Liem, Wine & Spirits
Far from being the austere wines one might think an extra brut might be, this Champagne is expceptionally rich and full of flavor. Everyone should experience a Champagne such as this at least once in a lifetime.
