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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\n\nOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Les Monts Fournois is led by Juliette Alips, whose training in Burgundy brings a meticulous, detail-oriented approach to vineyard work and winemaking.
