Last September 12th was Illy’s birthday and we had a dinner with her parents at home. For the event we drank a Champagne Vieille Reserve that we bought in Champagne region during our holiday in France. This wine is produced by Godart et Fils, a little producer in Moussy, just 10 minutes from Epernay. We found that this wine is very good, genuine and handmade. We appreciate these characteristics when we drink this kind of wines because a little producer is able to transmit the passion of his work.
Very different from Franciacorta wine and Italian sparkling white wines in general, this champagne has a yellow colour, a fine perlage and a very good taste.
Genuine and authentic is the label too, but in the context it fits perfectly…..
