 A Wine Spectator Top 100 Wine of 2022!
 In 1919, two brothers, Fernand and Gaston Chiquet—winemakers born and bred—came together to create their house Chiquet Brothers. They were ‘pioneers’ in Champagne, the very first winemakers to take the
initiative to keep their grapes, rather than sell them to the big producers and turn them into their own ‘All Estate-Grown Champagne. 
Gaston Chiquet is best known for making the only Blanc de Blancs from the Pinot village of Aÿ. The vineyards slope down steeply to the village by the Marne River, and the best locations are just over the town, sheltered from
the wind and with maximum exposure to the sun.”
(Secret Blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier from 1er & Grand Cru Vineyards)

“Champagne Gaston Chiquet Brut Premier Cru is vibrant and balanced, with flavors of nectarine, candied orange peel, slivered almond and oyster shell set on a lacy texture. Fragrant hints of white blossoms and lemon
thyme show on the finish. Quite refreshing and delicious!”

Lacy in texture, this leesy version offers notes of pastry cream, bread dough, oyster shell and poached apricot, layered with sleek acidity and a chalky underpinning. A rich but balanced style. Disgorged July 2018. Drink now through 2022.
