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.
