Rosé, Premier Cru Brut

Wine Description for Rosé Premier Cru Extra Brut by Lacourte-Godbillon

Colour & Appearance

Delicately pale rosé in colour, this Premier Cru shimmers in the glass – a colour nuance that already visually announces the elegance and finesse of this Champagne. The lively perlage underscores the artisanal precision.

Nose

A charming, airy opening: first a fine flint note, reminiscent of the mineral origin, then a bouquet of red berries – barberries, red peach, blood orange and a hint of rhubarb. Floral accents of lilac, mallow and cherry blossom mingle with a subtle leafy note. The overall picture: elegant, fragrant, of remarkable lightness.

Palate

On the palate, this rosé reveals itself as fresh and juicy with precise, pale red fruit. The mineral component returns, accompanied by fine tannins and a discreet, almost sensual sweetness that is perfectly balanced. Here the personality of this Champagne unfolds: a balanced core of substance, a certain seriousness, without compromising on drinkability. Saline nuances and the airy style make it extraordinarily engaging.

Finish

Fresh, clear and lingering – the finish underscores the mineral precision and leaves an elegant, appetite-awakening impression.

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from Ecueil in Champagne, this Premier Cru bears the mineral signature of its origin. The chalk soils lend it that characteristic tension and freshness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A thoughtfully composed cuvée of six base wines from two vintages: 100% Pinot Noir, of which 4% vinified as white wine. 52% from 2022, 48% reserve wines. 38% barrel ageing over nine months imparts complexity and structure. Bottled in July 2023, disgorged on 6 July 2025 with minimal dosage of 1.5 g/l – a true Extra Brut.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This versatile rosé Champagne harmonises beautifully with grilled salmon, tuna tataki, pink roasted veal or vitello tonnato. Also an excellent choice with sushi, summer rolls or a tomato burrata.

Special Features

A rosé Champagne that combines seriousness with drinkability – artisanally precise, without appearing pretentious. The minimal dosage allows the terroir and fruit to take centre stage.
