This blanc de blancs features chardonnay grown exclusively in Forget-Chauvet’s vineyards in Ludes, which are located on the northern side of the Montagne de Reims hill. Arthur and Ophélie produce only 1,500-2,000 bottles of this cuvée annually.

See: The color of unspun flax linen with notes of yellow straw.

Smell: Delightful aromas of spring acacia flowers, apple blossom, and fragrant white peach skin.

Taste: A subtle saline minerality characteristic of the chalky terroir combine with fresh flavors of lemon zest, green apple and a crisp, tongue-tingling acidity.

Pair: The perfect bottle for a late lunch dipping into happy hour or honestly, perfect with a dessert of lemon curd with fresh whipped cream and vanilla wafers.

Celebrate: You just placed the last framed piece in the only remaining spot above the sofa, and your gallery wall is complete. You sip on your glass of bubbles as you admire your handiwork: a gorgeous collection of memories from your favorite adventures.

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.

We Care Deeply About Your Grower Champagne.

Select “pick up” during check out, and we’ll safely store your bubbles in our temperature-controlled cave until you can collect them. Once we notify you that your order is ready, pop by at your convenience to pick it up and enjoy a splash. Or, if you prefer, give us a call, and we’ll bring it to you curbside.

Our new compostable, insulated packaging keeps your Champagne safe from breakage and at a constant temperature from our cave to you. Even so, we monitor the weather where you are, and if we feel that extreme heat or cold may affect the quality of your bubbles, we’ll be in touch to offer you options.

  • Can you provide recommendations?

    We thought you’d never ask! Whether you’re choosing Champagne for yourself or a gift for someone else, fatcork celebration specialists have you covered! Need help pairing a bottle from your club allocation for your dinner party? We can help there too! In our online bottle shop, you’ll discover an assortment of beautifully curated bundles and gift sets. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, call or email us, and we’d be happy to help you navigate our inventory of delicious bubbles.

  • Do I have to be a club member to shop bottles?

    No way José. All are welcome to purchase any of our delicious bubbles online or in person at the fatcork cave.

  • What do I do if my Champagne is corked?

    Damp, wet cardboard? That’s not on the tasting note! Cork taint is the worst, but all fatcork Champagnes use natural cork closures, so it does happen on the rare occasion. Please let us know, and will happily replace the bottle. Before you throw it away, snap a photo of the back label and we can refer to the code for reference. Email it to info@fatcork.com along with the order number.

  • Can I return or exchange my bottles?

    We aim to please. Call or email us, so we can talk about what happened and how we can make things right.
