🇫🇷 Meet Les Monts Fournois — Champagne’s Newest Name to Watch
Les Monts Fournois is one of the most exciting new domaines emerging from Champagne today. Behind the label is Juliette Alips, born into a grower family and mentored by her cousins Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche — two of the most respected names in the artisanal Champagne movement.
Juliette studied enology in Beaune, completing stages at Louis Latour, G.D. Vajra, and Louis Roederer before starting her own domaine. Located in the northern Montagne de Reims, she focuses on the Premier Cru vineyard of Les Monts Fournois, with additional access to tiny quantities of remarkable Grand Cru wine through her family’s long-standing grower relationships.
Until her first estate-grown Champagne is released, Juliette is offering extremely limited Grand Cru bottlings sourced from top vineyards — each one crafted with precision, honesty, and a deep love for terroir.
