Lacourte‑Godbillon Terroirs d’Ecueil Premier Cuvée NV from grower‑producer Lacourte‑Godbillon in Écueil, Premier Cru Champagne, is a beautifully poised Pinot‑dominant grower fizz that’s all about purity, texture and mineral drive. Lacourte‑Godbillon Terroirs d’Ecueil NV shows a pale straw‑gold colour with fine, persistent bubbles and aromas of crisp green apple, pear, orange zest, white cherry, lemon, toasted almond, brioche and white flowers over a chalky, saline core.

On the palate, Terroirs d’Ecueil Premier Cuvée NV delivers juicy yet precise fruit – pear skin, apple, candied citrus and hints of hazelnut, bread crumb and roasted nuts – carried by a refined mousse and broad, vibrant acidity. The blend of around 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay from organically farmed Premier Cru vines, with low Extra Brut dosage around 4–5 g/L and significant reserve wine, gives it both suppleness and depth, finishing long with a delicately salty, mineral snap.

Food‑wise, this Lacourte‑Godbillon Terroirs d’Ecueil NV is superb as a classy apéritif with oysters, prawn tartare or simple gougères, where its tension and fine mousse really shine. It’s equally at home with sushi and sashimi, grilled scallops, roast chicken or even a creamy mushroom pasta, the wine’s chalky freshness and yeasty complexity cutting through richness while keeping everything feeling bright and elegant.
