Veuve Fourny et Fils Cuvee 'R'

$89.00

Vertus, Champagne, France –

Mme Fourny and her sons have a small holding of 9ha of Premier Cru vineyards in Champagne’s Côte des Blanc. Mature vines (ave age 35 years) are managed by a synthesis of organic and biodynamic practices.

Champagne authority Richard Juhlin in ‘4000 Champagnes’ says of Cuvée ‘R’ 'A wonderful prestige cuvee that was made to honour the founder Roger Fourny. Organic handling of old stocks, low yield, no filtration, local natural yeast...Still, there is a Selosse-like spectrum of aromas: butter pears, dwarf bananas, sesame seeds, and new barrels in a deliciously butter outer layer.'  
 
Cuvée ‘R’ is chardonnay dominant (90%) with the remainder split between pinot noir and meunier. It is a blend of the superb 2005  and 2006 vintages– very pretty perfume with nougat and lemon, lovely. Ultra fine mousse, intense and unctuous palate showing spices, dried fruits and almonds. Diam cork.
Pinot Shop is located in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia at 135 Paterson Street down at the river end near Cataract Gorge, Stillwater Restaurant and The Mill Providore. We specialise in the best of premium pinot noir as grown so beautifully in the cool climes of Tasmania, New Zealand and southern parts of the big Australian continent. Our love for pinot extends to its sibling styles pinot gris and grigio and fizzy cousins sparkling wine and Champagne, even when they don’t contain pinot noir. That’s not to say we’ve become too exclusive - we also stock an interesting range of delicious wines for those (rare) times when you’re not drinking pinot…
