Dozen Price: $1379.88
RRP: $140.00
Luminous golden in colour, the Forget-Brimont Millesime Premier Cru Brut Vintage 2009 has fine discrete bubbles and a complex nose with aromas of stewed fruit and mushrooms. On the palate an initial impression of Pinot Noir with balance provided by Chardonnay. Flavours of brioche and toasted bread with an undercurrent of dried fruits (hazelnuts, almonds). A mature round wine with a silky finish combining hints of candied fruit and vanilla. Perfect with foie gras on brioche toast.
