Champagne Forget Brimont is a small producer of Champagne located in Le Craon de Ludes. The 6th generation Champenoise, Michel Forget, is the current owner and winemaker, and the estate can trace it roots back to the early nineteenth century when his ancestor Louis first created vineyards in the area. The Champagne Forget Brimont brand was established in 1920.
The non-vintage Champagnes are a blend of three different vintages of wine (allowing them to maintain a house style) and are aged a minimum of 32 months prior to release. More technical details and accolades.
An excellent value Champagne perfect for parties and celebrations. Fresh creamy sweet fruit nose with light toast. Full, ripe apple fruit crisp with a touch of brioche on the palate. Good mousse with balanced acidity. Awarded a Silver Medal at International Wine Challenge 2009.
"The NV Brut Premier Cru is a very pretty wine laced with expressive notes of citrus, lemon, white peaches and flowers. This mid-weight, floral Champagne will make an excellent aperitif, but it can also stand up to lighter-bodied foods. It is a beautifully balanced wine with plenty of Chardonnay character." 90 Points - Antonio Galloni, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate #197
Forget-Brimont’s commitments:
Integrated viticulture which respects the environment. Integrated viticulture practices include:
No anti-rot treatments or insecticides
No use of enzymes
No fining
No acids or soda used to clean the tanks
Minimal bisulfates
Use of pheromones against grape worms
Organic fertilisers and soil conditioners
Elimination of anti-botrytis treatments since 2000
Forget-Brimont’s little extras:
They include Grand Cru grapes in their Premier Cru champagnes
They only use cuvées – the first and best juice that flows from the press when they make their champagne; the taille, the coarser later juice which flows from the press, is sold.
Their ageing process exceeds the Champagne Appellation requirements
