Description
// 100% Chardonnay
"This wine is called «R» as in Roger, one of the founders of our house. Entirely vinified in small oak containers, this wine has been waiting in our cellars for 4 years. The Veuve Fourny house has a unique know-how for old-fashioned winemaking. Opulence and smoothness: a great Blanc de Blancs gourmet champagne, for exceptional dishes. White truffle is the best tribute you can pay it. Great ripe soft cheeses would also be a perfect partner" - Winemaker Note
"Veuve Fourny are arguably the most creative and consistent producer highlighting Vertus right now, and 'R' is a case in point; by combining the 2017 and 2016 vintages with a prominent oak-aged character, the open-stanced fruit of the village is rendered in full aromatic colour; apple compote, maple butter and sweet spices seem dedadent, but there's a beautiful sweet citric drive on the palate, plush but wonderfully smooth in mousse and texture." - 93 points, Tom Hewson
"Pale greenish straw. Dense and fresh with real class and interest. Linseed oil and excellent balance. Dry, appetising finish." - 16.5/20, Jancis Robinson
