Forget-Chemin Carte Blanche
Forget-Chemin Carte Blanche
If you like a bready champagne then this has your name on it!
Particularly wonderful with pan fried mushrooms on crusty bread...
This champagne has great aromas and flavours of crusty bread and has recently been selected to be served at a top London Champagne Bar! It was also awarded a Gold medal at the Concours General wine competition in Paris 2011.
It is lovely as an aperitif or can be drunk with poultry, canapés or Thierry himself recommends it as a great accompaniment to fried mushrooms!
Thierry assures us this Champagne is best enjoyed slightly warmer than normal at 10 degrees centigrade.
Producer Info:
The House of Forget-Chemin is situated in the Premier Cru village of Ludes in the Montagne de Reims. Thierry Forget is at the helm today carrying on the work started 3 generations ago. Not content with the experience and knowledge passed down to him, Thierry also obtained the wine making qualification Oenologue Diplômé in Reims in 1988. Today the family owns and tends 12 hectares of vines, some of which are just outside the back door of the house.
Thierry only produces 95,000 bottles of champagne a year and only 5% of that is exported, so it is a rare treat over here! Thierry has also elected to produce a champagne for the ‘Special Club’. In order to attain the ‘Special Club’ badge, the producer has to conform to many regulations and controls, but any champagne carrying this badge is a guarantee of it being amongst the best the region has to offer.
Thierry also works to the recommendations of the Viticulture Raisonnée which aims to promote sustainable agriculture in the Champagne region.
