Champagne Les Romaines Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru 2012
The Champagne "Les Romaines" by Hugues Godmé is a tailored masterpiece, a true collector's gem that completely redefines the expressive potential of pure Pinot Meunier. This extraordinary Lieu-dit (single plot) originates from a tiny parcel of just 0,39 hectares nestled in the village of Villedommange, a historically renowned Premier Cru site within the Petite Montagne de Reims. The vineyard thrives on a unique soil matrix where sand and clay layers sit directly above the region's deep, solid chalk bedrock.
The core philosophy of Hugues Godmé, a master of organic and biodynamic viticulture, shines through this high-definition micro-vinification. Following the estate’s strict protocol for its finest single-plot expressions, "Les Romaines" is fully vinified in oak barrels to sculpt its texture and unlock multi-layered aromatic complexity. To preserve its pristine tension and crystalline focus, it is finished as a Pas Dosé (0 g/l), with no sugar added at disgorgement. The result is a monumental, 100% Meunier that seamlessly marries the grape’s signature generous, hedonistic fruit with a deep, chalky, and saline mineral drive.
