Veuve Fourny Vertus Rose Brut Champagne / Premier Cru
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV Veuve FournyMy new go-to rosé champagne
I've been through a few rosé champagnes in this price range and Veuve Fourny is now my favourite. It's direct and characterful without trying too hard. Lingering finish that keeps you coming back. Not cheap but you're getting Premier Cru quality and honestly it drinks like it.
Great with food
Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered it with salmon. Genuinely one of the best food and wine combos I've had in ages. The acidity cuts through richer dishes perfectly. Bought a bottle from a shop afterwards to have at home — holds up just as well on its own.
Decent Premier Cru
Picked this up because I've been trying more grower champagnes lately. It's well made — balanced acidity, clean finish, proper complexity when you pay attention. Not a showstopper but a reliable choice. The 12.5% keeps it light enough to have a couple of glasses without feeling it.
Perfect dinner party fizz
Had this at a friend's dinner party and immediately asked where she got it. There's a real confidence to the flavour — fruity but structured, not at all wishy-washy like some rosé champagnes. Tracked down a bottle the next week.
Solid rosé champagne
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted a rosé champagne that wasn't just Moët. Really glad I listened — it's well balanced with nice acidity and genuine depth to it. Would definitely buy again for a special meal.
Nice but bit steep
It's a good champagne, don't get me wrong. Clean finish, pleasant enough. But at nearly fifty quid I think you can find similar quality for less. I'd maybe wait for an offer before buying again.
Birthday treat that delivered
Bought this for my wife's 40th and we were both really impressed. Lovely pink colour, proper bubbles, and it's got this beautiful fruit thing going on that's not too sweet. At £47 it felt like a proper treat without being insane money for champagne.
Wow this is good
I don't know loads about wine but I know what I like and this is LOVELY. The nose hits you straight away, really expressive and fresh. Every sip makes you want another one. Brought it to Christmas dinner and everyone was asking about it.
