Domaine Les Monts Fournois
Domaine les Monts Fournois, Coteaux Champenois Blanc
Combining elegance and finesse, this still white Coteaux Champenois made from Chardonnay grapes from the northern Montagne de Reims region reflects the freshness of its terroir.
These old Chardonnay vines were planted in 1961, on the “Les Monts Fournois” Premier Cru terroir in Ludes. The soil is poor, the chalk almost outcropping. The south-facing exposure is optimal for Chardonnay maturity.

- Aging
- This 100% Chardonnay still wine undergoes indigenous vinification, using yeasts from the vineyard and cellar. After 2 years’ ageing on lees in an oak barrel, this White Coteaux Champenois is racked directly from the barrel, bottle by bottle, by hand. The lees add some fine notes of reduction on the first nose.
- Alcohol
- 12.5%
The slight reduction of the first nose evolves, giving way to a beautiful fruitiness, with a touch of exotic notes, reflecting the terroir of Les Monts Fournois.

“Hints of orchard fruit, lime, white flowers and crushed rocks open with a great deal of reluctance. I especially admire the vibrancy here.’’
