Forest-Marié is a family grower-Champagne house rooted in Trigny, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, where the same family has tended vines across nine generations. Today the estate is run by Thierry and Gracianne Forest-Marié, who farm sustainably and HVE certified. They work an unusually fragmented holding: 83 separate plots spread across the villages of Trigny and Ecueil, each painstakingly harvested on its own schedule to capture the specific character(s) of the chalk-and-clay hillsides that define this stretch of Champagne.

"Tradition" is the house's flagship non-vintage Brut, a true equal-thirds blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, assembled from fruit across those 83 parcels to build a wine defined by true consistency rather than any single vintage's fingerprint. 

Why You'll Love It

• A genuine "house Champagne" in the best sense: dependable, food-friendly, and just as much at home at a celebration as it is on a Tuesday dinner table.

• A fine, persistent mousse, toasted brioche, lemon citrus and green apple aromatics. Fresh peach and honeyed pear, crisp red apple and a trace of red cherry.
  
• Bright and balanced acidity, keeps the wine crisp with a long refreshing finish that pulls you back for another sip.
  

How To Serve It

• Chill to 45-48°F before opening.
  
• Serve in all-purpose stems rather than narrow flutes to allow aromas to open up
• Enjoy alongside butter-poached lobster tail, or really anything from raw oysters to a simple roast chicken. Its bright acidity and gentle richness make it one of the most versatile bottles you can keep on hand.
