Clement & Fils Champagne La Godarde 2019
Pale gold with a fine, persistent mousse, La Godarde 2019 is a single-vintage, terroir-driven Champagne from Clément & Fils in the Côte des Bar, defined by precision, structure and site expression.
The cuvée is based on 100% Pinot Noir, sourced from the La Godarde vineyard, with the 2019 vintage delivering ripe phenolic concentration balanced by natural acidity and mineral tension.
Vinification is low-intervention and parcel-focused, using indigenous yeasts and a combination of stainless steel and oak fermentations to build layered complexity. The wine undergoes extended lees ageing in bottle before disgorgement and is finished with a low dosage of 1 g/L, preserving a very dry, highly focused profile.
The nose is finely detailed, showing citrus zest, redcurrant, green apple and white stone fruit, layered with brioche, toasted almond and chalky mineral notes. The palate is linear and structured, driven by fine mousse, vibrant acidity and a saline, mineral backbone. Subtle autolytic and oak-derived complexity adds depth without compromising clarity.
A pure, vineyard-specific Pinot Noir Champagne that emphasises precision, tension and terroir transparency.
