Forget-Brimont Brut Nature Zéro Dosage Vineyards & Blend

This wine is made from only the fruit sourced from the very best terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, including:

• Premier Cru: Ludes, Chigny-les-Roses, Montbré, Taissy
• Grand Cru: Mailly-Champagne, Verzenay, Verzy

The blend consists of:

• 40% Pinot Noir
• 40% Pinot Meunier
• 20% Chardonnay

Somewhere between 40% and 50% of reserve wines are used in the blend to ensure added roundness, complexity and consistency. These chalk-rich soils and ideal growing conditions contribute to the wine’s freshness, finesse, and distinctive mineral character.

Champagne Forget-Brimont Brut Nature Zéro Dosage Vinification

• The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected, followed by gentle whole-bunch pressing.
• Only the “cuvée”, the first juices extracted, is used for Champagne Forget-Brimont Brut Nature Zéro Dosage..
• Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at a cool 17 to 20°C to preserve delicate aromas.
• Malolactic fermentation follows, adding balance and roundness to the wine.
• Secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle deep in the estate’s cellars, 15 metres underground, at a constant 11°C, which are perfect conditions for fine, persistent bubbles.
• The wine is aged for approximately 5 years in the cellars, followed by several months of additional resting after disgorgement.
• Dosage is 0 g/L

A Family-Owned Champagne House

Champagne Forget-Brimont is a small Champagne producer located in the village of Ludes. 6th Generation Champenoise Michel Forget is the co-owner and winemaker. The estate can trace its origins back to the early 19th century when Michel’s ancestor, Louis, first planted vineyards in the area. The Champagne Forget-Brimont brand was officially established in 1920 by another relative, Eugène. In 2000, Michel partnered with Frédéric Jorez to ensure the continuation of Forget-Brimont as an independent Champagne House.

A Négociant Manipulant Producer

The company owns 19 hectares of vineyards in the Montagne de Reims with Grand Cru vineyards at Mailly-Champagne, Verzenay and Verzy, and Premier Cru vineyards at Chigny-Les-Roses, Ludes, Montbré, Sermiers, Taissy and Villers-Allerand. Pinot Noir is their most planted grape variety. Although Champagne Forget-Brimont owns vineyards, it also buys grapes from other local growers. They are therefore classified as a Négociant Manipulant (NM) producer.

Perfect Cellaring Conditions

Champagne Forget-Brimont’s Cellars are dug out of the chalky soils (that Champagne is famous for) to a depth of 15 metres. This means that the cellars are at a constant temperature of 11°C in both summer and winter, the optimum ageing conditions for Champagne, creating fine bubbles and incomparable perlage.
