Les Monts Fournois Brut Blanc de Blancs “Cote Vertus” 2010

The Les Monts Fournois “Côte Vertus” 2010 offers a captivating bouquet of citrus marmalade, white peach, and golden apple, layered with toasted hazelnuts, honeycomb, and subtle floral notes of chamomile. On the palate, the wine is exquisitely textured, with a creamy yet vibrant mousse. Flavors of candied lemon peel, crisp green apple, and ripe apricot are accented by delicate hints of brioche, crushed chalk, and a saline minerality. The 2010 vintage has endowed this Champagne with remarkable depth and complexity, while its brisk acidity keeps it refreshing and focused. The finish is long and precise, with lingering notes of citrus zest and a faint whisper of roasted almonds, inviting you back for another sip.

The Les Monts Fournois “Côte Vertus” 2010 pairs beautifully with refined dishes that mirror its complexity and elegance. Its bright acidity and mineral backbone make it a perfect match for butter-poached lobster or crab ravioli with a lemon beurre blanc, where the wine’s citrus notes complement the richness of the seafood and sauce. For a vegetarian option, try it with a wild mushroom risotto, as the wine’s creamy texture and nutty undertones harmonize beautifully with the earthy flavors of the dish. It also excels with aged Comté or Parmesan, whose savory, umami-rich profiles enhance the wine’s layers of brioche and toasted hazelnut. This vintage Blanc de Blancs transforms any meal into an unforgettable culinary experience.
