Fournay & Fils MV15 Rose Extra Brut

NV Fournay & Fils, Champagne, Extra Brut, Premier Cru, Cuvee Rosé Vinothèque MV15 (RT93+) This deeply hued blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is aged for 7 months on lees, then in bottle for 48 months. Bottled with dosage of 3-4 grams/liter and minimal sulfur. Comprised of mostly 2015 juice that is blended with multi-vintage reserve juice that’s been stored in cask. Disgorged 10/21 and closed with the outstanding Mytik Diamand cork. Showing a rather compact bouquet of sweet red raspberry, strawberry and citrus with hints of floral and mineral notes. The palate is rich, round and delicious with a fruit-forward style and closes with a chalk dusted finish. Needs some cellar time to come together and show its potential but should deliver some lovely drinking in the coming years. Drink 2025-2032+
