Domaine Les Mont Fournois, Vallée Premier Cru NV Riesling with fruit sourced from 1940sPlace: Champagne, FranceGrape: Pinot Noir + Chardonnay + MeunierVibe: Classic Pinot heavy with a couple of other Champagne varietals from a south facing sunny vineyard. As you'd expect the fruit is nice and ripe, almost exotic before the smoky saline finish takes over. Crowd friendly without skimping on complexity. This is a fizzer you don't need a celebration for. ABV: 12. 5%
