Veuve Fourny & Fils Cuvée R- Extra Brut

Named after Roger Fourny, one of the founders of the house, Cuvée R is a more serious, gastronomic expression of 100% Chardonnay from older Premier Cru vines in Vertus. The wine is entirely vinified in small oak vessels, which bring texture and subtle spice rather than overt oak character.

After lees ageing in oak, the wine spends a minimum of four years ageing in bottle, with a low Extra Brut dosage highlighting purity and minerality. Aromas of toasted bread, orchard fruit and gentle spice lead into a palate that is rich, creamy and structured, finishing long and savoury. A natural partner for truffled dishes, creamy pasta, roast chicken or soft cheeses.
