Canada and space are a natural fit. – Marc Garneau

Dear Arthur’s Cellar Wine Club Member:

July 1st is Canada’s 151st birthday. And, we’ve got the Champagne to help you celebrate it in style. What a six-pack two of each of the following 1er Cru from Champagne Forget-Brimont would make!

Please let me know if you would like me to place an order for you. Just tell me what you would like and to which LCBO store you would like it shipped.


Brut 1er Cru – 12.0% Alc./Vol.   LCBO Product # 926617                 $48.35 per bottle
This is great Champagne at a great price. The grape composition is 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay (all Premier and Grand Cru). A pale golden colour with a delicate nose of fresh green apples, white flowers and hazelnuts, it has a very fresh, deep structure and is well-balanced with good length. What a great way to start any party and also a wonderful accompaniment for white meats.

Here’s what Alison Napjus said about it in the December 31, 2012 edition of the ‘Wine Spectator’ – “Firm and focused by racy acidity, this is lightly chalky in texture, offering tightly knit flavors of ripe Gala apple, anise, black currant candy, fresh ginger and biscuit. Fine balance. $63 (wow, note the price – US$!!) – 91/100”. Robert Parker rated it a 90!

51 bottles remain.


Extra Brut 1er Cru - 12.0% Alc./Vol.   LCBO Product # 926625         $53.50 per bottle
This is really excellent apéritif Champagne in a delicate and refreshing style. Comprised of 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, (all 1er Cru and Grand Cru grapes) this crystal-clear Champagne possesses delightfully persistent tiny bubbles. Aromas of white flowers, citrus, pears and honeysuckle carry through in the mouth. It is beautifully fresh and lively with a long finish. This lovely fizz would be a special treat with lobster, oysters or caviar. Decanter magazine gave it a Five Star rating.

16 bottles remain.


Rosé Brut 1er Cru - 12.0% Alc./Vol.   LCBO Product # 926633         $55.60 per bottle
This is the Champagne for those most festive occasions. It is also an ideal apéritif. Its rose colour comes from adding a touch of red wine from Brouzy to the Forget-Brimont reserve cuvée. The grape composition is 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay (Premier and Grand Cru grapes only!). In the glass the beautiful light salmon colour provides an ideal backdrop for its steady stream of tiny bubbles.

Alison Napjus had this to say about it in the November 15, 2012 edition of the ‘Wine Spectator’ – “This offers lovely balance, a finely detailed texture and delicate acidity that focuses the subtle flavors of ripe plum, wild strawberries, and melon fruit. A hint of almond-tinged financier and mineral notes add complexity. $67 (note the price in US$!!) - 91/100” At least $25 less than anything comparable at the LCBO.

23 bottles remain.


Happy Canada Day everyone.

Many thanks and cheers!

Jim, Hélène and Kate
