The Lacourte-Godbillon Brut Nature Premier Cru NV is a striking Grower Champagne from Écueil, Montagne de Reims, Champagne, crafted by the family-owned Lacourte-Godbillon estate. Produced from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced exclusively from Premier Cru vineyards, this zero-dosage Champagne is fermented primarily in stainless steel, with a portion aged in older oak barrels to add texture without masking the purity of the fruit. Extended lees ageing creates aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white flowers and freshly baked brioche, layered with notes of chalk and flint.
On the palate, it is crisp, precise and beautifully dry, with vibrant acidity and a fine, persistent mousse. Flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and toasted almond are supported by pronounced mineral freshness and a long, saline finish. The absence of dosage allows the vineyard character and freshness to shine, making this an elegant and food-friendly expression of Premier Cru Champagne.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for lovers of terroir-driven Grower Champagne with purity and precision. Pair it with fresh oysters, sashimi, grilled prawns or soft goat's cheese. Enjoy now for its vibrant freshness, or cellar for 3–5 years to gain additional complexity.
