Hugues Godmé's Les Terres d'Unions 1er Cru is a champagne full of freshness and energy. The mineral finish gives it great freshness. It's an ideal aperitif champagne, but will also be at ease with fish.
The Godmé family has been growing grapes in Verzenay, a grand cru in the northern part of the Montagne de Reims, since the 19th century. Hugues’s grandfather, Joseph, began bottling wine shortly after World War II; his father continued the tradition, and today it is Hugues Godmé—the sixth generation of the family—who runs the estate, supported by his daughter Lucille.
The estate cultivates 7.5 hectares divided into 40 plots across four iconic villages of the Montagne de Reims: Verzenay and Verzy, the birthplace of Pinot Noir on chalky soils that produce elegant wines with pronounced acidity; Villers-Marmery, classified as Premier Cru and dedicated to Chardonnay, where the chalk imparts finesse and minerality; and Ville-Dommange. The vines, with an average age of 30 years—and some exceeding 60 years—have been cultivated using organic farming methods since 2006 (certified in 2013) and biodynamic farming methods since 2014 (certified in 2014).
As its name suggests, Terres d’Union is the cuvée that best embodies this diversity of terroirs: a carefully crafted blend of plots from the estate’s four villages, designed to capture the harmony between the structure and acidity of the Pinot Noir from Verzenay and Verzy, the floral finesse of the Chardonnay from Villers-Marmery, and the contribution of Ville-Dommange. Vinified plot by plot before blending, this cuvée precisely and energetically conveys the estate’s signature—a champagne that is truly the result of a union of terroirs, a family history, and a passion passed down through six generations.
