Veuve Fourny, "Cuvée du Clos Nôtre Dame" 1er Cru, Extra Brut - 2014

750 mL
Item # 34812

The Veuve Fourny estate is located in the Premier Cru village of Vertus. This vintage, tête de cuvée monopole is a showstopper: full-bodied on the palate with a supple texture and aromas of meyer lemons and flowers. This blanc de blancs has remarkable potential to age in the cellar. The base wine was vinified in barrel with final disgorgement taking place after 9 years of lees aging.

Staff Pick Notes

The stunning gold box and regal bottle shape suggest this wine is fancy, but its price hides just how rare and precious the wine is inside. Cuvée du Clos Nôtre Dame hails from an excellent vintage, 60-year old chardonnay vines, and a single, walled-vineyard staked out by the same monks who famously carved up Burgundy. I'm privileged to have tasted this gorgeous tête-de-cuvée, which is regal and unctuous and ready to drink. It is only made in years when weather conditions permit, then it's aged for 9 years(!) resulting in maybe a couple hundred bottles.

Champagne is finally getting the recognition it deserves as a brilliant food wine. For consistency and quality, turn to the big Champagne brands and you’ll never go wrong. Remember that “Non-Vintage” (NV) is not a dirty word here: NV Champagnes are blends of wines from the best growing seasons. But if you can find one, try a Champagne made by a Grower-Producer. These winemakers control every aspect of grape cultivation and vinification, from the vine to the finished bottle, which is...

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
