Lacourte-Godbillon Chaillots Hautes Vignes Premier Cru 2018 (6 Bottles) Ecueil, France

Lacourte‑Godbillon Chaillots Hautes Vignes Premier Cru 2018 is a pure‑Chardonnay Champagne from mid‑slope vines in Écueil, crafted in a dry, tightly wound and highly mineral style. It’s typically fermented in oak, then aged around three years on lees, giving subtle pastry and hazelnut complexity over a chiselled core of citrus and chalk. Expect a bone‑dry, structured Extra Brut/low‑dosage profile with loads of tension and length. In the glass, you can look for lemon pith, grapefruit, green apple and white flowers, layered with sourdough, hazelnut and a distinct saline, chalky edge.
