Domaine Les Monts Fournois Champagne 1er Cru Cote Extra Brut 2017

Domaine Les Monts Fournois Champagne 1er Cru Côte Extra Brut 2017 is a precise, terroir-driven Blanc de Blancs that showcases Chardonnay at its most elegant and focused. Sourced from Premier Cru parcels in Vertus, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, it combines freshness, minerality, and finesse with the depth that comes from patient cellar aging. Crafted under the guidance of Juliette Alips, it reflects both classic Champagne tradition and a distinctly contemporary precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a clear straw-yellow colour with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with bright citrus notes before unfolding into a more mineral, chiselled aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is lively and taut, with excellent definition, a dry Extra Brut finish, and a long, satisfying mineral aftertaste. Its structure and length suggest very good aging potential, with the capacity to develop gracefully over 10 to 15 years.

Production
The Chardonnay comes from Premier Cru vineyards in Vertus, one of the most respected sites in the Côte des Blancs, where chalky soils and a cool climate give the wine its tension, purity, and aromatic clarity. The wine is made according to the traditional Champagne method, with extended lees aging to build complexity while preserving its crisp, Extra Brut profile.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is an excellent match for seafood starters, shellfish, oysters, and refined fish dishes, and it also works beautifully with well-chosen cheese pairings. Serve chilled at 6–8 °C. Decanting is not necessary, but a short rest in the glass can help раскры the wine’s subtle layers.

Producer
Domaine Les Monts Fournois is led by Juliette Alips, whose training in Burgundy brings a meticulous, detail-oriented approach to vineyard work and winemaking. The estate is closely associated with expressive, terroir-focused Champagne from the Côte des Blancs, and this cuvée has earned strong critical recognition, including 94 points from Vinous.
