Champagne Lacourte-Godbillon Brut Premier Cru 92+ Points



A family run Recoltant Cooperateur based in Ecueil, one of the 26 Premier Cru village of Montagne de Reims.

Pale straw with green reflections, clean, impressive purity of fruit with high intensity, showing a mature and ripe side of Pinot Noir which is the main component of the blend.

Fleshy red berries, yellow stone fruit, bruised apple, lemony with a mineral core, complex autolysis note, I like the bracing and focus acid structure, more akind to a Blanc de Blancs cut and precision, textured, nutty, full on, savory baked lime note, perfect alcohol of 12% abv, impressive lenght, this is a great buy at under R 350/bottle, now until 2020+


Champagne available exclusively through Frogitt and Vonkel
