An incredibly talented young producer has recently made their debut in Australia, and their NV stands out as one of the finest Champagnes under $100 that we’ve encountered in quite some time.

Meet the charismatic Julien Fournier, a fifth-generation talent, and his partner, the equally impressive Justine, aged a remarkable 26 and 22 years old, respectively! Despite their youth, their profound understanding extends beyond Festingy’s slopes and soils to encompass the entirety of the region. Notably, Julien’s parents, Thierry and Murielle, remain integral to this multi-generational venture.

“The first thing that strikes me is the beautiful balance this wine exhibits. It’s fresh but it’s powerful at the same time, with fleshy white-stone fruit notes, brioche and biscuit accents. The fresh fruit nuance/autolysis profile is in perfect harmony here and finishes brisk and satisfying.” Importer Notes
