NV Thierry Fournier Réserve Extra Brut

80% Meunier, 10% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, all sustainably farmed and hand harvested.  This is the domaine’s flagship, with a blend mirroring its vineyard makeup and representing half of its production. The base vintage is 2016, and it is  blended with 40% reserve wine from a perpetual stock and rests on its lees in bottle for up to 5 years before disgorgement. Beautifully mature upon release, this is a full-bodied, chalky, and long Champagne. 5 g/L dosage. Production averages 25,000 bottles. The Fournier family began making wine in the 1930s in Festigny, a small village in the Marne Valley long celebrated for Pinot Meunier. Thierry joined his grandfather in 1983 and grew the domaine to just over 37 acres across 11 villages. Sons Maxime and Julien joined him in 2020.
