N.V. Gaston Chiquet Brut Tradition, Champagne, France (750ml)   


This is one of our best selling and well priced Grower Producer Champagnes we source from the Terry Thiese portfolio. The Chiquet family has been growing wine in Champagne since 1746 when Nicholas Chiquet planted his first vines.

In 1919, brothers, Fernand and Gaston Chiquet, created the family's first commercial endeavor with "Chiquet Brothers," also becoming one of the first growers to keep their own grapes, make their own wine and market it themselves. In 1935, Gaston separated from his brother to found his own winery, Gaston Chiquet. In 1950, Gaston and his son, Claude expanded their vineyard holdings from Dizy, to Ay and Hautvilliers. Today, the estate covers 23 hectares of sustainably farmed vines planted to all three Champagne varietals (about 40% to Chardonnay, 20% to Pinot Noir and 40% to Pinot Meunier.) This cuvée, however, is 40% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir.
