This impressive blend of Pinot Noir (60%) and Chardonnay (40%) from old vines is deeply saline, elegantly chalky, and marvelously fine and precise. Though an NV cuvée, this is, looks, and behaves like a prestige cuvée. It’s aged in 80% neutral barrels and aged longer in bottle.
Hugues Godmé Description
Champagne Hugues Godmé is a small grower located in the Grand Cru village, Verzenay, in the northern Montagne de Reims. They own a total of seven and a half hectares that cover four villages in the north and east of the Grand Montagne and west in the Petite Montagne: Verzenay, Verzy, Villers Marmery, and Ville-Dommange. Verzenay and Verzy are two of the most famous villages for Pinot Noir in the Grand Montagne, the others being Bouzy and Ambonnay. Verzy and Verzenay sit on north facing slopes and have a completely different expression compared to Bouzy and Ambonnay, which face south. Liem, in his book, Champagne, describes the wines of Verzenay and Verzy as, “sleek in shape, thriving as much on finesse as on body. While they can be concentrated in their ripeness, they are rarely opulent, retaining a firm structure and prominent acidity even in the warmest vintages. In contrast to the luscious red-fruit flavors of Bouzy and Ambonnay, the wines from this part of the Montagne de Reims are slimmer, more acidic, and more structured.” Villers Marmery is on the east side and is mostly planted to Chardonnay. And Ville-Dommange is in the west and planted to Meunier. Overall, the winery has three hectares of Chardonnay, 2.80 hectares of Pinot Noir and 1.80 hectares of Meunier.
