This vinous bubbly combines freshness and maturity. Toast, mineral, mushroom, citrus and spice aromas and flavors are enticing and complex, and there's nice, airy texture, yet no shortage of intensity and grip. The long aftertaste features toast and mineral.

Godme's NV Brut Premier Cru Reserve shows wonderful richness and up front juiciness in its ripe pears, hazelnuts and smoke. The weight of the red grapes and notable complexity likely due to high percentage of reserve wines comes through in spades. This is a beautiful entry-level Champagne from Godme.

A Champagne that revels in its crisp, textured Chardonnay, this is on the dry side, with fine acidity and tangy citrus as well as green apples. Three years of bottle aging before disgorgement has allowed hints of maturity to just begin to show and to create a fine balance in the wine.
