Lacourte-Godbillon N.V. Rose Brut 1er Cru
It is always a good sign when a rosé champagne states its identity in a distinctively different way from its white counterparts, as this does. The generosity of 2018 (73% of the blend – the rest is 2015) serves it well. Even with just 4 gm. of dosage, the wine has an exquisite balance between fruit and earth. Borderline perfect pink champagne.
