Veuve Fourny & Fils Grands Rose NV

Tiny volumes produced and hardly any made available for the Australian market. Pure pure, with fruit of English strawberry, cherry, cranberry, redcurrant, blueberry and blackcurrant. Lovely tension between the sweetness of fruit and the more savoury elements. There is a faint texture derived from the tannin and the Champagne’s naturally buoyant acidity, lends weight and textural complexity. Perfectly balanced, a very fine mousse and with a feeling of utter naturalness that is the stamp of Veuve Fourny. One of the few rose Champagnes that can be sipped for eternity or matched with just about anything. Incomparable wine, incredible value and one of the best on the market. Waters Wine Co

Fruit from stalk-stripped Pinot Noir and picked by hand, this vintage reveals the old-fashioned know-how of Veuve Fourny: manual grape-stomping and long maceration. Blended with hand-harvested Chardonnay, the Pinot reveals its delicate nose: red fruits and black fruits, whereas in the mouth it stays fresh. To be served before the meal, accompanied by « sweet/savoury dishes or at the end of a meal served on red berries. Producer’s notes.
