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.

"The 2022 Coteaux Champenois is racy and expressive right out of the glass. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, passion fruit, mint and a kiss of French oak meld together effortlessly. Tropical notes lend an exotic flair, along with lovely weight and creaminess that builds through the mid-palate and into the finish."

"It opens with a bouquet of white flowers, crisp yellow apple and toasted almonds, complemented by an exotic touch derived from Chardonnay-Muscaté selections incorporated in the blend. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, ample and textural, with a rich core of fruit shaped by its solar exposure and the character of the year. Bright acidity lends certain lift and energy, leading to a long finish."
