Champagne Le Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Hugues Godmé
The Le Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru “Premiers Jardins” Champagne by Hugues Godmé is a refined and elegant expression of Chardonnay from the prestigious Montagne de Reims, an area renowned for producing mineral-driven and deeply complex Champagnes. Hugues Godmé, an independent grower based in Verzenay, follows an artisanal philosophy focused on terroir expression and minimal intervention, crafting wines of remarkable authenticity and character.
This cuvée is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced mainly from the Premier Cru vineyards of Villers-Marmery, one of the rare Chardonnay-focused villages within the Montagne de Reims. The wine is crafted through a blend of several vintages, including 2010, 2008, 2007 and 2006, resulting in exceptional depth, balance and aromatic complexity.
The vinification perfectly reflects the house style: around 60% of the cuvée ferments in 225-litre oak barrels, while part of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften acidity and enhance texture and roundness. Neither filtered nor fined, this Champagne preserves the purity and authenticity of its terroir. After more than 30 months aging on lees, the wine develops remarkable finesse, tension and creamy texture.
In the glass, it reveals a luminous and refined profile. The bouquet combines citrus fruits, white flowers, chalk, orange zest and delicate tropical hints of mango, supported by a strong mineral backbone. The palate is precise, elegant and vibrant, balancing freshness, structure and silky texture. The finish is long, saline and persistent, leaving a remarkably clean impression.
Ideal as a gourmet aperitif Champagne, it pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, seafood tartare, sushi and refined marine cuisine.
