Thierry Fournier Champagne Half Bottle

What it tastes like Rich yet fresh, with ripe orchard fruit, brioche, biscuit, citrus peel, and subtle floral notes. Pinot Meunier gives it a generous, rounded texture, while long lees ageing adds complexity and a chalky finish. Why you should buy it A proper grower Champagne with depth and character that punches well above its price point. The half bottle format is perfect for two glasses each, aperitifs, or solo celebrations without opening a full bottle. What to enjoy it with Smoked salmon, oysters, fried chicken, triple cream cheeses, or simply salted crisps. Also excellent as an apéritif. Wine Story Produced by the Fournier family in Festigny in the Vallée de la Marne, the Réserve is the domaine’s flagship cuvée. The blend is typically around 80% Pinot Meunier with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, plus reserve wines from previous vintages. It spends up to five years on lees, giving impressive texture and maturity for a non-vintage Champagne. The estate farms organically and focuses on parcel-by-parcel expression.
