Marie Courtin 'Efflorescence' Extra Brut, Champagne, France 2018
Dominique Moreau named her estate after her grandmother, Marie Courtin, whom she describes as a “woman of the earth”. Her vision was to produce a series of single-vineyard, single-variety, single-vintage Champagnes from biodynamically grown grapes that are farmed and elaborated with meticulous care. This idea contrasts with the predominant mindset in Champagne which has historically focused on blending grapes, vineyards and vintages to achieve a consistent product or "house style". The estate is located in the village of Polisot in the Aube. you'll find champagnes from this region retain a freshness similar to Chablis, which is more of a neighbor to Polisot than Epernay or Reims!
