Hugues Godmé's Millésime 2012 Grand Cru is a gourmet champagne with lovely fruity notes. It's a flattering, pure, crisp champagne that will age well for several more years.
2012 was a year of contrasts, with an extremely cold winter followed by spring frosts, combined with heavy rainfall in July and a warm end to the season, resulting in a low harvest with very good ripeness. 2012 is one of the finest vintages of the 2000s.
This cuvée is a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru terroirs of Verzenay and Verzy, on the Montagne de Reims.
This Vintage 2012 is vinified in oak barrels for 40%, without any fining or filtration. The bottles spent more than 8 years in the House cellars to gain complexity and roundness.
The wine is not dosed, to let all its finesse and delicacy shine through.
