The Guy de Forez Brut Tradition is both the calling card of the domaine and a fantastic introduction to this family owned domaine. Composed of 100% Pinot Noir, this elegant Champagne from the Aube region of Champagne is at once delicate, yet still maintains a bit of plushness on the mid-palate.

Champagne producer Guy de Forez is housed in a beautiful building built in the 17th century in the town of Les Riceys.  Francis Wenner and his wife Sylvie farm 12 acres of mostly Pinot Noir with small amounts of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.  The house was one of the early pioneers of farming sustainably in the region, and are currently participating members of the Terra Vitis federation.  The town of Les Riceys is also traditionally known for making beautiful still rose wine which ages beautifully.  The range of Champagnes are full bodied with a purity and precise freshness that make these wines ideal dinner companions.
