Grower Champagne At Its Best. Veuve Fourny Et Fils Tasting Flight Friday 13th February

Grower Champagne At Its Best 

 Veuve Fourny Et Fils

Tasting Flight 

Friday 13th February

Tables from 6.30pm

We love our grower Champagnes and this tasting flight focuses on one of our favourite grower producers, Veuve Fourny et Fils, one of the Côte des Blancs’ finest Champagne houses. Based in Vertus, they farm 20 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards on limestone and pure chalk soils. 

The attention to detail shown by Emmanuel and Charles-Henry Fourny is remarkable. From careful vineyard work to precise, restrained winemaking, nothing is left to chance. They are making some of the most exciting wines in Champagne today and are rightly emerging as stars of their generation.

The tasting will move through a broad range of their Champagnes — from non-vintage and vintage cuvées, through wines from individual vineyard sites, and finishing with their most prestigious bottling, the vintage Clos Notre Dame.

As tradition seems to demand at Champagne tastings, we’ll also be serving smoked salmon from our friends at the excellent Kintyre Smokehouse in Campbeltown — a classic pairing that lets the wines shine while providing just enough indulgence.

The tasting is booked per table, restaurant-style, so it’s designed to be shared. Invite friends or loved ones, take your time, and enjoy the Champagnes while you chat and catch up.

The evening is untutored, informal and relaxed, allowing you to explore the wines at your own pace. Full tasting notes will be provided at your table, offering useful background information along with space for your own notes and observations.

Andy, Amanda and Nick will be on hand throughout the evening, pouring wines and available to chat or answer any questions you may have.
 Tables are available from 6:30 pm. Simply book your table and tell us what time you’d like to arrive

The Tasting
Aperitif: Veuve Fourny Blanc de Blancs – Pure Chardonnay, crisp and mineral, with fine citrus and chalky length. A benchmark style.
The Flight
Veuve Fourny Grands Terroirs Brut – More depth and breadth, drawing on older vines and multiple sites.
Veuve Fourny Rosé – Subtle and dry, with red fruit kept firmly in check.
Veuve Fourny Cuvée R – Richer and more layered, showing the house’s serious side.
Veuve Fourny La Justice Extra Brut – From a single lieu-dit, low dosage, precise and quietly powerful.
Veuve Fourny Clos Notre Dame – A rare walled vineyard Champagne, intense, focused and built for the long term.
