Description
The Champagne Vertus Nature Blanc de Blancs by Veuve Fourny et Fils is a very particular wine, characteristic of an extremely careful niche production. The terroir is typical of the Vertus area and is classified PremierCru for its distinct characteristics, very suitable for fine wines. The soil is characterized by a predominantly calcareous nature with very little clay and intersections of pure chalk and brown soil, and it also has three different exposures: one to the east, one to the south and one to the southeast. All these characteristics give great variety to the Chardonnay grapes, particularly harmonious and rich. Classified AOC Champagne Premier Crus Blanc de Blancs Brut represents a typical production of excellence that is handed down from generation to generation. Champagne Vertus Nature Blanc de Blancs is a classic white pas dosé with secondary fermentation according to the traditional method. The grapes are grown according to the Lutte Raisonnée method, a sustainable agriculture method that involves the use of organic fertilizers and hand-picking the grapes. All the vines have an average age of forty years, which is considered perfect for adequately extracting all the nutrients and minerals from the soil. The use of compost, plowing, and grassing of some vineyards allows for better protection and the right enrichment of the harmonious bouquet of the grapes. Separate vinification occurs without the use of sugars and sulfites, and a skillful blending of wines from primary and double malolactic fermentation gives the product the right roundness and freshness.

From our grandfather Albert and his son Roger and Madame Veuve Fourny, we have inherited know-how as well as ancient vineyards, including the Clos Faubourg Notre - Dame, a rarity in Champagne.
Us brothers took over the Family House in 1993. Through our personal experiences and our very different personalities, we have jointly decided the style of our cuvées.
Our collection of Champagnes highlights our Premier Cru terroir of the Côte des Blancs in a curated style, with an equal share of elegance and freshness. We do our best, from the vineyards right to the cellars, to extract the purest expression of the grapes and the terroir in order to produce champagne with a low dosage. Read more
