Champagne Thierry Fournier Les Grand Champs NV

The Fournier brothers are making some seriously exciting Champagne in the Vallée de la Marne, and Les Grands Champs is a brilliant example of why they're turning heads. Sourced from a single vineyard in Leuvrigny, this beautifully expressive Champagne is all about showcasing the character of its special little patch of land. Expect inviting aromas of ripe pear, golden apple and fresh citrus, with delicate white florals adding a lovely lift. A gentle touch of brioche and subtle mineral notes brings another layer of complexity. On the palate, it's wonderfully textured, with juicy orchard fruits, lemon curd and a hint of ripe stone fruit. There's a lovely richness here, but vibrant acidity keeps everything fresh, lively and beautifully balanced. Careful winemaking and a thoughtful approach to oak give the wine depth without overwhelming its natural elegance. Fine bubbles carry everything through to a long, dry finish with a delicious mineral edge. A cracking grower Champagne that delivers plenty of personality, precision and pure drinking pleasure.
