The small house of Veuve Fourny in Vertus crafts a large range of wines focused on the Chardonnay of the southern Côte des Blancs, with this cuvée the main vintage-level offering. It is consistently an excellent purchase. The current 2016 release, focused on the stricter, chalkier terroirs of Vertus, comes with immediately engaging charred pineapple, nougat and lemon marmalade aromas, beautifully measured and clean while driven by salty bread savour and elongating acidity. It's a seriously fine vintage blanc de blancs to compete with many of the top maison examples.
