Wine Information

This champagne is a blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, with 56% from 2015 and 44% reserve wines. The vines are planted in sandy and loose clay soils in Ecueil, Montage de Reims. After pressing and spontaneous fermentation, the base wine was aged for nine months in stainless steel and wood (approx. 11%). No stabilization, filtration, or fining was carried out. The wine was bottled in July 2016 and aged sur lattes for over six years, disgorging on November 16, 2022. It contains 1.5 grams of dosage.

Colour

Intense straw yellow with light copper reflections and a relaxed mousse.

Nose

The Terroirs Épanouis is a Terroir d’Ecueil that was only removed from the lees much later. It presents itself accordingly deeper and more refined. The 2015 wine, with a high proportion of reserve wines, smells of quince, red and yellow apples and plums, a hint of Fino Sherry and crushed stone.

Palate

On the palate, the champagne appears elegant and, at first, quite relaxed with its ripe fruit and fine mousse. Then, however, acidity and minerality build up a considerable tension and penetrate the vinous character of the Terroir d’Ecueil. Added to this is a fine tannin that gives this noble wine a few important, distinctive edges. This makes it a highlight in Lacourte Godbillon’s portfolio.
