Les Monts Fournois 2016 is one of the most fascinating cuvées from Côte, Blanc de Blancs from Chardonnay in purityfrom a parcel of the highest reputation located in Verzenay, whose property belongs to Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche, among the most influential names in artisanal Champagne.
The lieu-dit Les Monts Fournois is historically associated with the production of great Pinot Noirs, but the Chardonnay grown in this part of the cru reveals a surprisingly mineral, citrine and taut face. Côte works these grapes with a contemporary, essential and crystal-clear sensibility, resulting in a rare and deeply identifiable expression of terroir.
The thousandth 2016, fresh and complex, is interpreted with the house's artisanal approach: spontaneous fermentations, aging in neutral woods, no corrective intervention and a dosage Extra Brut minimal that enhances the expressive purity of the Chardonnay.
The aromatic profile opens on notes of candied lemon, tense citrus, wet stone, fresh almond and white flowers, accompanied by a subtle smoky and chalky nuance typical of the Verzenay slopes. The mouth is vertical, incisive, luminous, with a deep salinity and a vibrant, very clean finish.
This cuvée is a rare opportunity to explore a lieu-dit owned by the Bérêche brothers through the minimalist, precise and ultra-modern lens of Côte: a Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru of extraordinary elegance and personality.
A bottle for purists, terroir enthusiasts and collectors looking for truly unique interpretations of the Montagne de Reims.
