Innately lovable is the phrase for Gaston Chiquet, a grower Champagne that's tactful and effortless yet genuinely attractive. The Chiquet family works all premier and grand cru fruit across the Marne villages of Ay, Dizy, Hautvillers and Mareuil-sur-Ay, and the Brut Tradition is their everyday calling card. There's no barrel here; the lovely texture comes from the ripeness of the fruit and malolactic fermentation alone. It's terrific value in grower Champagne, just as happy as an aperitif as it is at dinner.

Robert Parker

90 points

"Disgorged in May 2019, the latest release of Chiquet's supremely dependable NV Brut Premier Cru Tradition reveals an inviting bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh peach, honeycomb, Meyer lemon and warm biscuits. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, with a youthfully frothy but refined mousse, a succulent core of fruit and ripe but racy balancing acids. It's already drinking well." —Robert Parker

Wine Spectator

90 points

"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."

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
