Two Australians walked into a French cellar, and this happened
Leanne De Bortoli and Steve Webber arrived unannounced on Charles Fourny’s doorstep 10 years ago, with the result his fine bubbly is available Down Under today.
A little over a decade ago, Charles Fourny was working in his office at the family champagne cellars in Vertus when his secretary knocked on his door and said there were two Australian visitors outside.
“People often turn up when I have no time,” says Fourny. “But I said to myself: these visitors have come from so far away; I cannot say no.”
