Domaine Les Monts Fournois
Domaine les Monts Fournois, Montagne, Verzy Grand Cru
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 they would like to highlight the real expression of a terroir, a varietal and a vintage. These Crus have been sélectionnés by winemaker 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.

The fruit is omnipresent, with fine notes of wild strawberry and blackcurrant. The Pinots are fully mature, which is reflected in their incomparable richness of fruit. The 2013 print brings its autumnal universe with a hint of straw. The palate continues with notes of blood orange and even pepper, delivering the freshness that is the signature of the Verzy terroir in this 2013 vintage. The length on the palate confirms the exceptional terroir and vintage of this Verzy 2013. The balance is greedy and intense.

“Lacy in texture and mineral-driven, this fresh, elegant Champagne offers a well-integrated mix of white cherry, glazed tangerine, biscuit and pickled ginger flavors underscored by subtle chalk and brine notes.”
— Alison Napjus, 2024
