Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Premier Cru Les Alouettes Saint Bets Extra Brut by Hugues Godmé is a refined Blanc de Blancs made from Chardonnay grapes. Produced using the Traditional Method, it stands out for its dry profile and extremely fine perlage. In the glass, it displays a straw yellow colour enhanced by golden highlights, releasing fruity aromas that anticipate a fresh, balanced and persistent palate. Its clear structure makes it ideal to pair with starters, shellfish and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the Montagne de Reims, from vineyards spread across forty plots between Verzenay, Verzy, Villers-Marmery and Villedommange. Specifically, the grapes come from the Les Alouettes Saint Bets cru, a prestigious Premier Cru that enhances the territorial expression of Chardonnay. Hugues Godmé cultivates the vines following the principles of biodynamic and organic viticulture, adopting sustainable practices aimed at preserving the delicate balance of the terroir. This respectful approach to nature gives the wine a crystalline definition and a pronounced identity.
How it is produced
The process begins with careful vinification in oak barrels, without the use of fining or filtration to preserve the integrity of the raw material. Subsequently, the wine matures on the lees for a period of 6-7 years; a prolonged rest that enriches its structure and ensures the absolute finesse of the perlage. This long ageing enhances the character of the Chardonnay, while the Extra Brut dosage guarantees a taut, dry and extremely precise palate, with a persistence that attests to the technical excellence achieved by Hugues Godmé.
