“Hugues Godmé is a new domaine that was created when the Godmé siblings separated their family’s Godmé Père et Fils estate. The Champagnes are layered and yet also have a lightness to them that is quite appealing, Vinification is done in tank and barrel, while dosage is on the lower side. These three Champagnes all merit serious attention.”

“The 2009 Extra-Brut Avize Champ Gain captures an intriguing combination of the richness of the year and the clean, mineral inflections that are such signatures of Avize. All the elements are turned up a few notches. Petrol, apricot, dried flowers, orchard fruit, orange confit, honey and marzipan all develop in the glass. Even with all of its intensity, the 2009 retains striking translucence. It’s a big wine, but there is plenty of complexity too. Disgorged May 2019. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter. Drinking window: 2020-2029. 94 points”

“The 2009 Extra-Brut Corne Bautray is rich, ample and creamy, with all of the radiance of the vintage very much on display. Readers will find a potent Chardonnay with so much depth and power that it almost feels like a Pinot. Orchard fruit, dried flowers, chamomile and tropical inflections all grace this extroverted, flamboyant Champagne. The 2009 is not exactly subtle, but its dramatic beauty can’t be denied. Disgorged April 2019 and bottled with no dosage. Drinking window: 2020-2029. 95 points”

“A stunning wine, the 2016 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Grandes Crayères 1er Cru is also the most impressive wine in this range. Bright and finely sculpted, the 2016 possess dazzling energy to match its mid-weight personality. I very much admire the wine’s drive and precision. The Grandes Crayères emerges from two parcels in Chavot that confer so much tension. It is a stunning Champagne in every way. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2020. Drinking window: 2021-2031. 96 points”

“The 2016 Extra Brut Sans Soufre Concordance, 100% Pinot Noir, is an exotic, wild wine. Apricot, honey, orange peel, hazelnut, spice, menthol and tropical inflections all open with a bit of time in the glass. Pinot Noir naturally has a tendency to present oxidative qualities. The Sans Soufre style seems to amplify those qualities. In this release, the Concordance comes across as forward and more advanced than a five year-old Champagne, its obvious, beauty and complexity notwithstanding. I would prefer to drink it on the young side. No dosage. Disgorged: April, 2019. Drinking window: 2021-2024. 92 points
Dominique Moreau presented a stunning range of Champagnes this year. The 2016 Extra Brut Sans Soufre Présence and 2015 Extra Brut Rosé Indulgence are both positively stellar. A focus on old vines and no dosage led some of the early wines here to feel a bit stark and austere. That is seldom the case these days. Biodynamic farming, natural ferments, aging in neutral vessels and very low to no sulfur are central to the philosophy here. There is something very human about these wines. They aren’t always perfect, but they are always interesting.”

“Based on the 2015 vintage and complemented by fully 50% reserve wines, Lahaye’s NV Brut Nature Grand Cru is derived from holdings in Bouzy (which represents 80% of the blend) and Ambonnay, which he feels are better blended than bottled separately. Offering up a complex bouquet of yellow orchard fruit, toasted nuts and dried white flowers, the wine is medium to full-bodied, racy and precise, with fine depth at the core, a delicate mousse and a chalky, sapid finish. Drink: 2020-2030. 92+ points
Benoît Lahaye has been producing wine at this 4.8-hectare Bouzy estate since 1993, and only a few years later, he began to experiment with organic and biodynamic farming. Now certified biodynamic for over a decade, he ploughs many of his vineyards with his own horses. Concentrated and incisive, these are serious Champagnes: harvested at full maturity and vinified without chaptalization in barrels, they see comparatively long élevage on the lees—with full malolactic fermentation—before tirage, and after maturation sur lattes, they’re disgorged with minimal dosage. Lahaye is one of Champagne’s finest producers, and on this visit to the domaine, I relished the opportunity to taste though all his recent releases.”
