{"title":"Lacourte Godbillon","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen a star like Eric Rodez recommends you check out a new Champagne producer, you'd be foolish not to make a visit. Adam Friedberg, Rodez’ long time New York importer, is no fool. So he went straight to Ecueil, on the Montagne de Reims, where he found a young couple making absolutely killer Champagnes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeraldine Lacourte and her husband, Francois, took over Geraldine’s family vines and started bottling instead of selling to the co-op. Their plots – 85% planted to Pinot Noir – are on a patchwork of different soils, including sand over very deep chalk (at the top of the mountain), and heavier clay (at the bottom). Such variety of soils can make for a complete and complex Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut it takes a lot of work and experience to vinify each parcel separately and then blend them together just right. Fortunately, they’ve been tutored and supported by Eric Rodez, who practiced these arts at no less a Champagne house than Krug. Eric also convinced them to go organic (their farming has been certified for a couple of years).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLacourte Godbillon, with their organic, everything-by-hand farming, terroir-focused winemaking, and pure, pure wines, is the kind of grower that could blow up one day. In fact, the wines were on track to do just that, with placements in top restaurants and prices moving upwards.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lacourte-godbillon-champagne-blanc-de-noirs-premier-cru-mi-pentes-nv-750ml","title":"Lacourte Godbillon Champagne Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru Mi Pentes NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlend: 100 % Pinot noir\u003cbr\u003e2020 vintage (organic), 35% reserve wines from 2019\u003cbr\u003e50% vinified in oak barrels.
