Description
Lacourte Godbillon “Chaillots Hautes Vignes”, harvested in 2020, is an elegant single-vineyard Champagne that expresses clarity, energy, and a distinct sense of place. The nose is fresh and finely lifted, opening with aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, interwoven with subtle floral notes and a gentle hint of freshly baked brioche.
On the palate, the wine is defined by its precision and tension. A vibrant core of citrus and orchard fruit is carried by a crisp, linear acidity that gives the Champagne drive and focus. The texture is fine and refined, with a delicate mousse that enhances its purity rather than weight. Beneath the fruit lies a clear mineral backbone, adding depth, structure, and a distinctive chalky freshness.
The finish is long, clean, and energetic, marked by lingering citrus, white fruit, and a subtle saline edge. “Chaillots Hautes Vignes” 2020 is a Champagne of finesse and articulation, well suited to both refined apéritif moments and gastronomic pairings such as shellfish, delicate fish dishes, or lightly seasoned white meats.
