Veuve Fourny et Fils has been an active family domaine since 1856. The estate is located in the prestigious Côte des Blancs, in the premier cru village of Vertus, an appellation that gives them the rare opportunity to grow Pinot Noir as well as Chardonnay. Brothers Charles-Henry and Emmanuel Fourny sustainably farm nearly nine hectares of vineyards and have been carrying on the family winegrowing tradition since 1993 producing classic grower Champagne.

Their Brut 1er Cru Rosé is equal parts Chardonnay, grown on chalky slopes, and Pinot Noir from steep, red clay parcels and craft an homage of sorts to their village’s ancient roots. Vertus, a once fortified town in the Middle Ages, used to be a Pinot Noir outpost, planted almost exclusively to the red grape. Today, the Côte des Blancs is well known for its racy blancs de blancs, but Fourny’s exquisite rosé, akin to a transparent red with a fine bead, boasts an identity all its own. The wine is both lively and mineral, as you’d expect given the Fourny house style, but comes enhanced with a festive fruit profile—cranberry, sour plum, and blood orange.
