Forget-Brimont Champagne
This time of year calls for something celebratory, something convivial, something remarkable.
Champagne floats all our boats.
We hope it does yours too.
Here's a relatively unknown House (as Champagne producing businesses are named), Forget-Brimont.
We've heard all the unforgettable puns.
Moving along...
Comprising the main three: Pinots Chardonnay, Noir and Meunier all Forget-Brimont Champagnes are expertly made.
They're disgorged late, which encourages that luscious warm bread mouthfeel but with super finessed fruit quality. Ripe peach, crisp apple, juicy pear. Long drawn acidity. Breath-taking length.
Pop the cork on one of these babies and your heart should flutter with heightened anticipation.
There's four styles: Brut, Blanc de Blancs, Rosé and Réserve (currently 2012).
They're all superb.
The Brut with oysters?
Yes.
The Blanc de Blancs with smoked salmon?
Yes.
The Rosé with duck liver parfait?
Yes.
The Réserve with Coquilles St Jacques?
Yes!
Hell! Drink any of these with cheese on a cracker and suddenly the cheese on a cracker becomes gourmet.
This is what great Champagne is all about.
Happy Holidays!
