Cuvée “R”
Extra-BrutPremier Cru
Multi-vitages matured in oak casks
This wine is called «R» as in Roger, one of the founders of our house. Entirely vinified in small oak containers, this wine has been waiting in our cellars for 4 years. The Veuve Fourny house has a unique know-how for old-fashioned winemaking. Opulence and smoothness: a great Blanc de Blancs gourmet champagne, for exceptional dishes. White truffle is the best tribute you can pay it. Great ripe soft cheeses would also be a perfect partner ...
