Our vintages

CHAMPAGNE FOURNAISE-DUBOIS

When the natural environment, meets the talents of men.

The Fournaise family exercises all of its art to sublimate the character of the grapes that it has rigorously selected. With not only a perfect mastery of the assembly, but also the time spent for the vintage to flourish in the cellar.

The grapes are picked by hand and great care is taken with their transport, in order to bring them to the press intact. The pressing of healthy, ripe grapes is soft and fractionated in order to release juices of different qualities and retain only the best.

It is by associating tradition and modernity that our vintages are elaborated in thermo-regulated tanks, in order to prepare them in the best conditions. The storage in oak barrels creates all the conditions of a «controlled oxidation» and contributes to the roundness of the Champagne. Sheltered from light the bottles remain in the cellar for a long period of maturation.

All the champagnes proposed are already mature. They can be consumed immediately. It is also possible to keep them a few years in the cellar between 12 ° and 14 °. In order to express fully their harmony and their finesse serve between 6° – 8°.
