That chalk is at the heart of the Fournys' house style: a brisk, saline freshness that's been the throughline of the family's Chardonnay-based Champagnes for the past two centuries. Brothers Charles-Henry and Emmanuel Fourny farm the estate today, and nowhere is their style more boldly expressed than in the Brut Nature — a wine built entirely around the ripeness of fruit rather than dosage.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charles-Henry and Emmanuel Fourny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lutte Raisonnée (sustainable viticulture)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTERROIR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne AOC, Premier Cru village of Vertus, Côte des Blancs.
