Veuve Fourny

Clos Notre-Dame 1er Cru 2013 | Bottle 75cl

Description

With this Clos Faubourg Notre-Dame 2013, Charles-Henri and Emmanuel Fourny wanted to reveal the quintessence of this unique parcel!

Vintage 2013 is a fresh, taut vintage with immense ageing potential.

This vintage champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay from the Fourny family's monopoly Clos "Faubourg Notre-Dame". This 0.29-hectare parcel was planted over 60 years ago on rendzine soil over chalk, in Vertus, a Premier Cru commune in the Côté des Blancs.

This 2013 vintage is vinified in vats, with very little sulfur, and aged for 7 months on lees. It was aged for 9 years in our cellars before being disgorged and dosed at 3 g/L Extra-Brut.

This cuvée reveals a delicate nose of blood orange, clementine and a refreshing hint of yuzu.

The palate is racy and seductive, with ripe citrus fruit, a creamy texture and an elegant, vibrant and persistent saline tension. The long finish is pure, chalky and salivating, with notes of white pepper.
