Veuve Fourny & Fils Premier Cru Brut Rose, Champagne, France NV 1.5L Sagrantino Plenty of violets and darkThe NV Brut Ros Premier Cru is fabulous. Rich, ample and beautifully resonant in the glass, the Premier Cru dazzles from the very first taste. Unlike the Blanc Premier Crus in this range, the Ros has more body and textural intensity, all of which make for an absolutely compelling wine. I love the vinous intensity here. Orange peel, raspberry and kirsch linger on the Pinot driven finish. In a word: sublime. Disgorged: September, 2019. 94 Pts Antonio
