Champagne Extra Brut AOC Godart et Fils

Champagne Extra Brut is produced by the Godart et Fils winery, founded in 1948 by the three brothers Paul, André and Jean. Paul, the elder brother, worked for Moët et Chandon for 23 years before founding his company, now run by his son Francois in collaboration with oenologist Laurie Marteau. The company is RM (Récoltant manipulant) and Vigneron Indépendant, acronyms that we also find on the label, that is, the winemaker who produces and markets Champagne with his own label, starting from grapes coming exclusively from his vineyards and processed in his cellars. These are the cornerstones of the company that wants to leave its mark entirely in the Champagne produced. The vineyards extend for 6.3 hectares in the crus of Moussy, Pierry, Chavot, Vinay and Bergères les Vertus.

The wine is a blend of Pinot Meunier (60%), Chardonnay (30%) and Pinot Noir (10%) which is aged on the lees for 36 months.

In the glass, the Champagne is deep yellow in colour with golden reflections, with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is characterized by hints of citrus and yellow pulp fruit, from peach to plum, while the sip is fresh and creamy, with a persistent finish.

Perfect as an aperitif for connoisseurs, it goes classically with fish dishes, including raw fish.
