The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Inseparable from the terroir of Vertus, Champagne Veuve Fourny stands as one of the benchmark estates of the region. Since 1995, brothers Charles-Henry and Emmanuel Fourny have been cultivating 30 hectares with precision and care, showcasing the pure magic of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs.

Old vines, massal selections, meticulous parcel-by-parcel vinification, and a deep commitment to the vineyard — including trials in organic and biodynamic farming — form the foundation of their remarkably precise wines. Thanks to careful fine-tuning, oak barrel fermentation, and the aging of reserve wines in large casks, barrels, and tanks, the brothers have propelled their cuvées to the very top of Champagne. Their style captures the vibrant fruit expression and the brilliance of the terroir in every glass.

Awarded 2 stars by La Revue du Vin de France — a leading French wine magazine — this exhilarating estate proudly champions a philosophy of excellence. Focused exclusively on Premier and Grand Cru terroirs, it's time you discovered it for yourself.
Wine Sourced from the estate’s oldest vines, planted in the 1960s exclusively in Vertus, the Champagne Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Vertus is a finely sculpted wine with pure, focused fruit. Based on the 2021 harvest, complemented by reserve wines and partially vinified in oak barrels (20%), it reveals a fresh, chalky mousse that is both vibrant and beautifully textured. A perfect Champagne to pair with seafood and delicate fish dishes. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee.
