Godme Sabine Champagne Brut Reserve 1er Cru NV - 75cl

Godme Sabine Champagne Brut Reserve 1er Cru NV is a premium non-vintage Champagne from the Champagne region of France, crafted by the family-run Godme Sabine estate. Located in the 1er Cru villages of Verzenay and Villers-Marmery, the winery benefits from terroirs renowned for producing high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Godme Sabine is celebrated for its hand-harvested grapes and meticulous winemaking, emphasizing terroir expression and traditional methods.

This Brut Reserve blends Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, often with a dominance of Pinot Noir, achieving a perfect balance of structure and fruitiness. The base wines are fermented and aged in oak barrels, adding subtle complexity, followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle, resulting in fine, persistent bubbles characteristic of classic Champagne.

Tasting Notes: The nose reveals fresh citrus, green apple, and white floral aromas, complemented by hints of toasted bread and nuts, hinting at aging potential. On the palate, it is crisp yet rounded, with bright acidity, vibrant fruit flavors of lemon zest and pear, and a touch of minerality, finishing long and clean.

Pairing and Enjoyment: This Champagne is ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, oysters, poultry, or light appetizers. Serve chilled at 6-8°C to highlight its freshness and effervescence. With an alcohol content of around 12%, its moderate dosage (Brut) makes it both approachable and complex.
