Champagne Forest-Marie Brut Tradition NV

For this Forest-Marié Brut Tradition NV, nine generations and two families merge with an astounding 86 plots over a handful of Champagne’s villages, all tended to by the family-run estate. It’s a blend of all three Champagne grapes, with 58% reserve wine in the blend, delivering aromatic pear, citrus and shortbread, tart red cranberries and freshness at every turn. An effervescent dinner guest with the charisma to kick off any celebration.

“Very good chardonnay. Nice tones of peach, pineapple and melon. Clear oak maturation. Some white pepper and cucumbers create a special finish.” – Freddie Van den Berg
