Maison Forget-Brimont’s vineyards cover 18 hectares that are for the most part located on the terroirs of the communes of the Montagne de Reims: Mailly-Champagne and Verzenay for the Grand Crus and Chigny les Roses, Coulommes la Montagne, Ludes, Montbré, Sermiers, Taissy and Villers-Allerand for the Premier Crus. This 6th generation estate started by Louis Forget, planted their first vineyards in the beginning of the 19th Century while the brand was established in 1920. It then became known as Forget-Brimont in 1978. Pinot Noir reigns supreme in this area. This wine is made from primarily Estate fruit from those Premier Cru vineyards but they also purchase some fruit from other Premier Cru growers and Grand Cru growers in order to make small quantities of Grand Cru Champagne. Forget-Brimont are one of the lasts houses of Champagne to still continue digging its own cellars today. After dosage, the wines are laid down for an additional two to six months before release. These standards exceed the minimum requirements of the Champagne Appellation. A pale gold in color. The bouquet is subtle, fresh notes of brioche laced with expressive notes of citrus fruits, peach and white flowers, green apple, hazelnut and bread crust. The palate is creamy with an abundance of green apple, lemon, melon and almond, joined by salty mineral notes, hints of ginger and biscuit. A well-balanced and impressive length on the finish.
