Vintages New Release Collection – September 27, 2025

FORGET-BRIMONT 1 ER CRU BRUT CHAMPAGNE 2014 AOC, France The 2014 is a 50/50 split of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and saw 10 years on the lees, resting horizontally in chalk cellars. From a sixth-generation winemaking family, it’s a classic expression that incorporates the very best of Champagne’s noted minerality and exuberance. Ready to be enjoyed now, it will continue to age into the early-to-mid 2030s. Rich & Complex 19996 (XD) 750 ml $129.95 2 To know if a mature wine is still viable, open and pour it as usual (taking care not to include any of the sediment that may have developed over time), then just as you would with a young wine, check the aromatics. If the wine doesn’t smell musty or off, take a small sip. If the taste is to your liking, the wine is still good to drink.
