Lacourte Godbillon Premier Cru Brut Rosé NV is a vibrant grower Champagne from Écueil, crafted entirely from Pinot Noir and aged several years on lees for extra depth. In the glass it shows a delicate salmon‑pink hue with orange highlights and very fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of strawberry, raspberry, cranberry and redcurrant mingle with blood orange, grapefruit, red apple, hay, currant leaf, light smoke and a touch of pastry/brioche.

The palate is dry Brut in style – fruity yet firmly refreshing – with crunchy red berries, raspberry‑seed bitterness, citrus zest and a distinctly chalky, saline line from the Premier Cru Écueil terroir. A fine mousse and gentle phenolic grip give texture and “bite”, while a small portion aged in barrel adds subtle spice and bass notes without overpowering the fruit. The finish is long, finely tart and herbal, making this more gastronomic than simple aperitif rosé.

Food‑wise, this Premier Cru Brut Rosé is superb with beetroot dishes, quail or game birds, couscous with red fruits, charcuterie, salmon, tuna, and rich seafood, as well as bitter‑leaf salads and soft cheeses. It excels wherever you want red‑fruit freshness, gentle tannic grip and chalky cut on the table rather than overt sweetness.
