Rosé, Premier Cru Brut

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

Colour & Appearance

Delicately pale rosé in the glass, with fine, persistent bubbles – a Champagne that visually announces its elegance and finesse from the outset.

Nose

This Premier Cru from Ecueil captivates with its airy elegance. The nose opens with a subtle flint note, reminiscent of Champagne’s minerality. Behind this unfold aromas of red berries, barberries and red peach, accompanied by blood orange and a hint of rhubarb. Floral accents of lilac, mallow and cherry blossom lend the bouquet a charming lightness, whilst a discreet leafy note provides depth.

Palate

On the palate, the rosé reveals itself as wonderfully fresh and juicy, with precise red fruit to the fore. The mineral stone note and leafy character continue, lending the wine structure. A subtle, sensual sweetness balances perfectly with the extract and fine tannins. Remarkable is the balanced backbone – this rosé has substance and seriousness without losing its lightness. Fine salinity and an airy style make it extraordinarily invigorating.

Finish

Fresh, with lingering minerality and an elegant fruitiness that invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from the Premier Cru vineyard site Ecueil in Champagne, this wine benefits from the region’s characteristic chalk soils, which impart its pronounced minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

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

Food Pairing Suggestions

Perfect with raw tuna, salmon tartare, grilled prawns or Vitello Tonnato. Also excellent with goat’s cheese, strawberries with balsamic vinegar or as a sophisticated aperitif.

Special Features

A rosé Champagne that combines substance with lightness – not a playful aperitif wine, but a serious Champagne with character and depth.
