Description

Crafted by the family-run winery of Lacourte-Godbillon in Écueil, on the Montagne de Reims, this vintage Champagne brings together Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Premier Cru vineyards. The 2020 Millésime combines the character of the fruit with the freshness and mineral expression of Champagne’s chalk-rich soils.

On the nose, fresh citrus, crisp apple and white flowers lead into delicate notes of toasted bread, brioche and hazelnut. The palate is dry and lively, with bright acidity, ripe fruit and a subtle chalky character. Fine, persistent bubbles carry the flavours through to a long, refreshing finish.

An elegant yet characterful Champagne, it is excellent as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, scallops and delicate fish dishes. Its freshness and structure also make it a lovely match for a special meal or a celebratory occasion.
