The first vintage was made in 1968 at a mere 1,000 cases which were quickly sold. It wasn't until 2006 that Geraldine and her husband Richard came into the family business from their high-flying city jobs to take the reins and turn it into the modern house it today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLacourte-Godbillon are considered purists and are a true 'grower-producer' (récoltant manipulant) with control of all levels of growing and production.

These are vinous wines of nerve and tension with an invigorating streak of minerality.
