Lacourte-Godbillon | Champagne | Terroirs d’Ecueil, Premier Cru Extra Brut | NV | 750ml

Description

The estate of Geraldine Lacourte and her husband Richard Desvignes (what a beautiful name for a winemaker!) is located in Ecueil, in the heart of the Petit Montagne de Reims. They focus entirely on the 1er Cru sites in this village, which means they have short distances to travel and spend a lot of time in their vineyards. In 2016, they switched to organic viticulture and their vineyards are bursting with vitality. Both of them have seen a lot of the world and only decided to take over the Geraldines parents’ estate from at a late stage. Geraldine worked for years in marketing in Germany. The style is not outmoded, but rather modern. The base wines are fermented in stainless steel and do not necessarily go through malolactic fermentation. Only a portion is aged in barrique. Very clear and tight, they reflect their origin beautifully, but always with a fine fruit and elegant depth.

Free yourself from the convenient tyranny of other people’s tasting notes! We encourage you to find out about the wines from the producers themselves by visiting their website.
