Domaine Les Monts Fournois Champagne Grand Cru Cote Chouilly Extra Brut

Domaine Les Monts Fournois Champagne Grand Cru Cote Chouilly Extra Brut is a finely tuned, mineral-driven Champagne from one of the most prized terroirs in the Côte des Blancs. Crafted in an Extra Brut style, it offers impressive precision, freshness and depth, making it ideal for lovers of pure, terroir-expressive bubbles. Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Chouilly, this cuvée captures the elegance and tension that have made the village a reference point for top-quality Champagne.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Champagne shows a pale, luminous straw colour with subtle green highlights and a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with lifted aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white flowers, layered with chalky minerality, fresh brioche and a delicate hint of almond. On the palate, it is taut and vibrant, with a racy citrus core wrapped in notes of pear, crunchy stone fruit and a touch of salinity. The Extra Brut dosage keeps the wine wonderfully dry and linear, highlighting its chalky structure and giving it a long, precise, mouthwatering finish. Already beautifully expressive on release, it has the structure and acidity to develop additional complexity—think more brioche, hazelnut and honeyed nuances—over the next 5–8 years if cellared well.

Production
Hailing from Grand Cru vineyards in Chouilly on the Côte des Blancs, this Champagne is rooted in chalk-rich soils that are famed for producing exceptionally pure, mineral whites. The fruit is typically harvested by hand to ensure optimal selection of bunches and to preserve delicate aromatics. In the cellar, gentle pressing of the grapes yields the finest juice, which is fermented in temperature-controlled vessels to safeguard freshness and precision. A portion may be aged on lees prior to blending to add texture and complexity, before the wine undergoes its secondary fermentation in bottle and extended lees aging, enhancing its fine bead and subtle autolytic notes. The low dosage in the Extra Brut style allows the Grand Cru terroir of Chouilly to shine through with clarity.

Food & Serving
This Extra Brut Grand Cru Champagne is a natural partner for refined, delicately flavoured dishes. Try it with oysters, scallop carpaccio, sushi and sashimi, or classic Champagne pairings such as caviar, blinis and fresh goat’s cheese. It also works beautifully with lightly grilled fish, lobster, or simple roast chicken with herbs. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C (46–50°F) to showcase its tension and aromatic finesse. A short 10–15 minute opening before serving, or gentle pouring into a white wine glass rather than a narrow flute, will help the wine fully express its complexity.
