The Fourny brothers farm close to four acres of 60-year-old chardonnay vines for this Brut Nature, aging it on the lees for 30 months. They present it without dosage, allowing the deep flavors to show in all their brisk intensity. It feels youthful, with notes of lemon, pear and chalk in mouthwatering tension. A clean, fresh Champagne to enjoy with raw shellfish, or to cellar for several years.

This too is beautifully elegant with strikingly well-layered aromas of pungent yeast, quinine, green apple and a whisper of petrol. This impression of refinement is enhanced by the notably fine mousse supporting the middle weight flavors that culminate in a crisp, citrusy and youthfully austere finish. This could easily be enjoyed now but I would be inclined to hold it for at least another 2 to 3 years first.
