Domaine Les Monts Fournois Cote Cramant Grand Cru BdB Champagne 2016

The 2016 Domaine Les Monts Fournois Cote Cramant Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay is a white wine from the Champagne region in France, specifically from the Vallee de la Marne sub-region. Produced by Domaine Les Monts Fournois, this varietal Chardonnay is characterized by its bright and effusive nature. Precise and delicate first nose with a lot of purity, some notes of linden flower, with hints of candied lemon. Energic and harmonious palate, combined with creamy bubbles. The texture is powdery and long, with notes of lemon zest. Beautiful intensity of the lees allowed by 6 years of ageing in the cellar. Initial aromas of zesty meringue aromas are balanced and delicate, with a bit of raciness, a signature of the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs.

The Cramant Grand Cru, located within the Côte des Blancs in Champagne, is located south-southeast of the town of Épernay. It is a small sub-region with a mere 351 ha planted to 99.9% Chardonnay and 0.1% Pinot Meunier. Champagnes grown in Cramant tend to be creamier, more concentrated, mineral-driven wines, compared to those from neighboring Grand Crus with different vineyard exposures.
