"It's fresh and powerful at the same time, with fleshy white stone fruit notes, brioche and biscuit accents. The fresh fruit nuance / autolysis profile is in perfect harmony here and finishes brisk and satisfying.
The layer and textured Pinot Meunier dominant Reserve Brut is described by Julian and Justine Fournier as a photograph of the domaine. Based on the 2016 harvest, it features 80% Pinot Meunier, 10% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir (the planting proportions of the vineyard) as well as 40% reserve wines, coming primarily from the previous 2 harvests. Tiraged in 2017, the wine was disgorged in May 2023 having spent the best part of 5 years on lees.
Found in the western reaches of the Valle de la Marne, the history of the estate stretches back to the 1930s and today Julian and Justine are the driving force of the domaine. The Fourniers farm 15ha of glorious vines, spread across 12 villages and a mind-boggling 45 different plots, featuring a high proportion of chalk which ensure the wines are rich and juicy as well as focused and energetic." - Cellar Hand
