Emmanuel and Charles-Henry Fourny are the fifth generation to produce champagne at the family estate. They now own and lease (from other family members) some 20 hectares of 1er Cru vineyards in the Côte de Blancs, all exclusively on the limestone and pure chalk soils of Vertus. They practice their own lutte raisonnée and prune very short to restrict yields. Their vines average 40 years of age and the family has practiced selection massale since the 1930s.  

This cuvée uses only the first press juice with minimal use of sulphur.  vats 75% and oak casks 25%, unfiltered.

The blend consists of 3 consecutive vintages with 20% Reserve wines used. It is given 7 months of lees ageing before bottling and further ageing in their 19th century cellars.
