Description
Lacourte Godbillon “Mi-Pentes”, harvested in 2017, is a distinctive Champagne that showcases both depth and finesse, shaped by a carefully selected mid-slope vineyard parcel. The wine opens with an expressive and refined aromatic profile, where notes of ripe orchard fruits —such as apple and pear— are interwoven with citrus zest, white flowers, and delicate hints of brioche and toasted almond developed through ageing.
On the palate, it is structured yet precise, revealing a harmonious balance between freshness and maturity. The fine mousse enhances a textural elegance, carrying flavours of stone fruit, lemon peel, and subtle pastry-like nuances. There is a clear mineral backbone that reflects the vineyard’s terroir, adding tension and length to the wine.
The finish is long, clean, and vibrant, marked by saline undertones and a lingering impression of citrus and gentle toast. “Mi-Pentes” 2017 is a Champagne of character and poise, equally suited to refined apéritif moments or pairing with delicate seafood and poultry dishes, where its complexity and precision can fully shine.
