Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Pinot Noir Brut by Philippe Fourrier is produced using the Traditional Method. Made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, it displays a brilliant straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The effervescence is characterised by a fine and continuous perlage, which precedes aromas of ripe citrus, white-fleshed fruit, floral notes and fragrant hints of brioche. On the palate, it is linear, supported by a pleasant creaminess and a vibrant citrus tension that finishes with a mineral and persistent aftertaste.
Where it comes from
This cuvée originates in Baroville, within the Champagne region, where the Philippe Fourrier house has been operating since 1847. The area defines the wine's freshness on the palate and its pronounced mineral character. The soil allows the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to develop an ideal balance, maintaining an elegant structure. These conditions ensure a high potential for ageing, allowing this Brut to mature harmoniously in the bottle for an estimated five to ten years.
How it is produced
Production follows the rules of the Traditional Method, ensuring an elegant and consistent mousse. The blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay enhances the clarity of the aromas and the composure of the sip. To appreciate every nuance, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature between 6 and 8°C. Its structured profile makes it the ideal choice to accompany raw seafood and tartare, also offering balanced pairings with sushi, white fish, delicate starters and fresh cheeses.
