Vineyard
Most grapes come from vineyards classified as Vertus Premier Cru. Additionally, the Chardonnay grapes also come from some Premier Cru plots just outside Vertus. The vines are on average about 40 years old and thrive on a terroir of chalky soils and chalk. The plots are oriented South, Southeast, or East.
Winemaking
The grapes are hand-picked. Upon arrival at the winery, they undergo a gentle pressing. Fermentation, which starts spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, is followed by a 7-month maturation on the lees, with 75% of the juice residing in stainless steel tanks and 25% in small oak barrels. Only a very limited amount of sulfites is added during vinification. The blend consists of three consecutive vintages, supplemented with 20% reserve wines. The dosage is 6 grams per liter.

Champagne Fourny & Fils
Frankrijk · Champagne
Veuve Fourny & Fils is een echt familiedomein waar al vijf generaties lang Champagne wordt gemaakt. Na het vroege overlijden van hun vader namen Charles en Emmanuel Fourny begin jaren negentig stap voor stap het huis over, nadat hun moeder Monique Van Landeghem het domein jarenlang had verdergezet. Vandaag vormen de broers een perfect duo: Emmanuel staat in voor de wijnbouw en vinificatie, terwijl Charles zich toelegt op de commerciële uitbouw van het huis.
