Monts Fournois Crus Sélectionnés Côte Chouilly "CHY" Grand Cru - NV (750ml)

Le Domaine les Monts Fournois is presenting here this cuvée after a rigorous and precise search for the best terroirs of Premier and Grand Crus in Champagne. With these wines we would like to highlight the real expression of a terroir, a varietal and a vintage. These Crus have been sélectionnés by Juliette Alips and her cousins Raphaël & Vincent Bérêche.

Located in the northern part of the Côte des Blancs, Chouilly is exemplary when it comes to finesse, and elegance. The harmony is remarkable, the balance almost perfect. With its spring-like, almost clove-like notes, this blanc de blancs is both chic and gourmand. The south-east exposure gives it a reassuring golden character and a lovely golden richness.

The palate on the NV Côte Grand Cru Chouilly is characterized by a delightful greediness, offering a luxurious mouthfeel that immediately captivates the senses. The wine’s effervescence is showcased through fine, airy bubbles that dance across the tongue, creating a delicate and sophisticated texture. This refreshing quality seamlessly transitions into a pronounced chalky texture, a hallmark of the Grand Cru terroir. The chalkiness imparts a distinct minerality, adding depth and complexity to the overall tasting experience, and serving as a testament to the wine’s prestigious origin.

Well-honed and refreshing, with bright buoyancy to the lively mousse as it carries a rich display of grainy pear, ripe white raspberry and pineapple fruit, plus chopped almond, preserved lemon and pastry cream notes. Long and well-spiced, with a pronounced vein of chalky minerality on the focused finish. Disgorged November 2024. Drink now through 2035. 1,179 cases made, 300 cases imported.
