"The 2013 “les Champs St. Martin” single vineyard bottling from Hugues Godmé is composed entirely from pinot noir. It was disgorged in October of 2023 and finished non-dosé. The wine delivers a beautifully refined and very precise bouquet of white peach, apple, chalky minerality, pâtissière, a touch of orange zest, raw almond and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is vibrant, focused and full-bodied, with a lovely core of fruit, superb mineral drive and grip, elegant mousse, still a serious spine of acidity and fine balance on the long, complex and very classy finish. Even after nine years aging sur lattes in the Godmé cellars, this beautiful bottling makes an unintended case for just a touch of judicious dosage for wines from Verzenay! But, its ultimate quality is unmistakable, I would just choose to give it still another few years in the cellar to let it soften up just a touch more on the palate. "
