2008 Hugues Godme Grand Cru Champagne

A blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. Excellent creamy white mousse that holds well to eventually reveal a pale straw golden edged base wine. Exceptionally fine bead showing great persistence. The nose sings, displaying a complex aromatic profile of baked bread, yeast lees and cashew with subtle underlying nuances of dried honey, citrus and toast. The palate shows great finesse, vibrancy and freshness and should fill out wonderfully with further bottle age. Possessing richness but without a feeling of fullness, flavours of citrus toast, yeast lees and bready characters are interspersed across the palate with subtle dried honey and cashew also making an appearance. Finishes very dry with crisp acidity and a long distinguished aftertaste of citrus, bready characters, yeast lees, oily toast and cashew. Cellaring is a must – give it 5-6 years.
