Born in Champagne in a grower’s family, Juliette Alips rapidly found her passion. With the mentorship of her close cousins, Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche, she discovered and learned all the ins and outs of producing champagne, from farming, to vinification, tasting and blending. Now, with the help of her two cousins, she is starting this new adventure with Domaine Les Monts Fournois. Located in the north part of the Montagne de Reims, in the sub-area called La Grande Montagne, the Premier Cru Les Monts Fournois will be the focus of the domaine
Le Domaine les Monts Fournois is presenting here this cuvée after a rigorous and precise search for the best terroirs of Premier and Grand Crus in Champagne. With these wines we would like to highlight the real expression of a terroir, a varietal and a vintage. These Crus have been sélectionnés by Juliette Alips and her cousins Raphaël & Vincent Bérêche
This 2013 bears elegant witness to a great Pinot Noir terroir; AY. The first nose is fine and delicate, then reveals the power of the terroir. AY is high, AY is great. The delicacy of fresh flowers mingles with fine notes of gunflint, revealing the rock, then the power of the soil. Aromas of smoky chalk emerge, the complexity is great due to the full maturity of the 2013 vintage.
Les Monts Fournois. The typical vibrancy of Verzy is nicely tamed in this supple, open-knit Champagne. The blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, here in equal parts, work so well together. Plum, kirsch, white flowers, spice and mint confer exotic beauty to this highly expressive 2013. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 2023.
There's a subtle, honeyed edge to the flavors of black cherry and black raspberry fruit, whole-grain toast, chamomile and fleur de sel as they ride the creamy mousse of this chalky Champagne.
