Monts Fournois Crus Sélectionnés Montagne Verzy "VY" Grand Cru - 2014 (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.

The Verzy Grand Cru is located on the slope of the Montagne de Reims, Southeast of the town of Reims. Most of the vineyards are on north-facing slopes and are planted mainly to Pinot Noir. Verzy was promoted from Premier Cru to Grand Cru in 1985 alongside Chouilly, Oiry, Oger, and Le Mesnil sur-Oger.

Beautifully mature, it shows plum, greengage, and stone fruit with jasmine, dried fruit, and hazelnut complexity. The palate is fresh yet powerfully structured, finishing on chalky salinity and a subtle gentian-like bitterness.

94 points Vinous

The 2014 Montagne Grand Cru (Verzy) is another stellar wine in this range from Domaine Les Monts Fournois. Citrus peel, slate, crushed rocks, mint, white pepper and chalk all race across the palate. The 2014 exudes Verzy coolness and mineral-drenched intensity. I Ioved it. Dosage is 2.3 grams per liter. Disgorged: November 2024. - By Antonio Galloni on April 2025

This is a firm and tightly meshed version. With its chalky mousse, this leans toward austere in style at first but opens well in the glass, revealing a delicate weave of poached quince, cassis, tangerine peel and grilled macadamia nut flavors underscored by minerally oyster shell and saline notes. Shows a long, mouthwatering finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged November 2024. Drink now through 2040. 166 cases made, 75 cases imported.
