Nestled in the illustrious Premier Cru village of Écueil on the western side of the “Petite Montagne de Reims”, these vines have been passed down through generations within the Lacourte & Godbillion families. The first Champagne vines were planted here before 1947, with Jean-Guy Lacourte and Claudine Godbillon producing their initial harvest under the name Lacourte-Godbillion in 1968. In 2006, Richard Desvignes and Geraldine Lacourte decided to leave their corporate jobs and return to the family vineyard, a change that proved to be a profound revelation. Following in the footsteps of their ancestor Jean-Guy Lacourte, they uphold the philosophy that only the finest quality grapes can produce truly exceptional wine. Now boasting 20.5 acres of vines, the estate comprises 95% Écueil and 5% Les Mesneux.
