Sélection Premier Cru Brut

Forget-Chauvet

$68

This cuvée is a snapshot of the Forget-Chauvet domaine (40 percent pinot meunier, 40 percent pinot noir and 20 percent chardonnay).

See: Glimmering gold with peach and copper undertones in the glass with a frothy fine mousse.

Smell: Sweet must that speaks of age, sweet green herbs, and breadcrumbs.

Taste: Crisp at first sip. Elegant, with a rich, creamy texture and pleasant structure from long aging on the lees. There are plenty of ripe yellow fruit notes and a touch of brioche. Mouth filling fullness is balanced by bright acidity and dips into a long, refreshingly smooth yet savory finish.

Pair: If your airfryer is your jam, crispy calamari with fresh lemon and herby marinara is the winning pairing. Otherwise BYOB to your favorite spot for fish and chips creamy tartar sauce.

Celebrate: You are positively plowing through your pledge to read 50 books this year, and at this rate, you might even surpass your goal. Who needs pizza parties, praise and prizes? You reward yourself in your own personal BOOK IT! program with a cold, crisp glass of bubbles.

The Forget name is a familiar sight in Ludes. Forgets have been tending vineyards in the Premier Cru village  for centuries, the oldest family vineyards dating back to before the French Revolution. In 1936, Pierre Forget, one of five Forget brothers, married Cécile Chauvet, and the pair began cultivating grapes on their own estate. Joined in the years that followed by their son Emile, the couple produced their Forget-Chauvet Champagne in 1950. 

For more than 80 years, the family has passed along their methods and traditions, and, now, siblings Arthur and Ophélie Lelièvre are the sixth generation to lead Champagne Forget-Chauvet. With 10 hectares of vineyards spread across three terroirs in Ludes, Taissy and Lagery under their domaine, the young vignerons are eager to make their own mark on the family legacy. Today, Arthur and Ophélie choose to do all fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks to impart their cuvées with a new fresh, vibrant quality.
