Hugues Godme 2008 Les Alouettes Saint Bets Brut Premier Cru , Champagne

The Godme Les Alouettes Saint Bets Champagne is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes (a Blanc de Blanc).  Grapes are sourced from the Premier Cru village of Villers-Marmery, located just east of Montagne de Reims. Aged for 4 years with 4 grams per liter dosage this is one fresh and tasty Champagne.

The Champagne is flavorful and rich, bursting with ripe golden apples, hints of lemon zest and curd, baked bread notes, amid an elegant and creamy texture. The chalky minerality is there adding to the power, complexity and finesse of this wine. Pair with fish, shellfish, fried chicken, potato dishes.
