    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Forget Brimont, Brut, 1er Cru, NV

    Coming exclusively from 1er Cru Vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, Forget Brimont Brut NV is a classically structured, pure, biscuity blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. The style here is all about drinkability and freshness with textbook crisp berry, brioche and citrus notes, and an exceptionally well balanced acidity. It is a hard act to beat at this price.

    ABV:
    12%
    88/100
    Josh Raynolds, Vinous
    (40% pinot noir, 40% pinot meunier and 20% chardonnay): Pale yellow. High-pitched aromas of lemon zest, redcurrant and white pepper. Dry, sharply focused citrus and red berry flavors are incisive and refreshingly bitter, a late note of quinine adding bite. Closes firm, spicy and long. Decidedly uncompromising Champagne that some may find austere.
