Why You'll Love It
Guy de Forez is one of the most exciting producers in the Côte des Bar.

Made entirely from Pinot Noir, this vintage Champagne has a little more generosity than many of its northern counterparts, without sacrificing elegance. Layers of baked apple, candied citrus and brioche are joined by roasted hazelnuts and a lovely chalky freshness that keeps everything beautifully balanced. There's real weight and complexity, but also an effortless drinkability.

A brilliant bottle for celebrations, naturally, but equally at home alongside lobster, roast chicken or Comté.
About The Producer
Champagne Guy de Forez is based in the historic village of Les Riceys, the southernmost corner of Champagne's Côte des Bar. The Wenner family farms just 11 hectares, almost entirely planted to Pinot Noir on Kimmeridgian limestone soils similar to those found in nearby Chablis. While many of the region's grapes are sold to the Grandes Marques, Guy de Forez bottles its own wines, showcasing the richness and character that have made Les Riceys one of Champagne's most sought-after villages. The estate has long championed sustainable viticulture and is certified Terra Vitis and Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE), reflecting its commitment to protecting both vineyard and environment.
Winemaking Information
Produced only in exceptional vintages, this is a single-vintage Champagne made exclusively from Pinot Noir grown around Les Riceys in the Côte des Bar. Guy de Forez avoids malolactic fermentation, preserving the freshness and tension of the fruit, before the wine undergoes its second fermentation in bottle and extended ageing on its lees. The result is a Champagne with impressive depth, fine bubbles and the structure to continue developing for years to come.
