Domaine Les Monts Fournois - Champagne Premier Cru Côte Vertus 2010

Domaine Les Monts Fournois is run by the talented Juliette Alips. Juliette Alips graduated from Oenology school in Beaune in 2020 and has already gained significant winemaking experience with several renowned producers including Louis Latour in Bourgogne, G.D. Vajra in Piedmont, and in Champagne with Maison Louis Roederer Champagne. She has now embarked on a journey guided by her well-known cousins: Raphael and Vincent Bérêche.

Situated in the northern part of the Montagne de Reims, specifically in the sub-area known as La Grande Montagne, the domaine will center its focus on the Premier Cru Les Monts Fournois.

The inaugural release of the Domaine Les Monts Fournois Monopole will be the 2022 vintage, available in 2027. In the meantime, the domaine will be releasing a range of vintage Grand Cru & Premier Cru Champagnes, sourced from the Bérêche’s family friends’ growers who cultivate renowned vineyards across the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, and the Vallée de la Marne.

“Sleek and mineral-driven, with a lacy texture and an underlying chalkiness. This well-knit Champagne offers flavors of ripe nectarine, yellow plum and lemon curd, with accents of grated ginger, lime blossoms and pink grapefruit pith, plus a rich note of pain d'épices. Fresh, spiced finish.” - 93 Points, Wine Spectator
