Marie-Courtin, Efflorescence Extra Brut, Champagne, France, 2019
Founded by Dominique Moreau, Marie-Courtin is a benchmark for biodynamic, single-vineyard Champagnes in the Côte des Bar. The 'Efflorescence' cuvée is sourced from a single parcel of Pinot Noir in Polisot, where the Kimmeridgian clay and limestone soils impart striking power and laser-focused minerality. Cultivated with rigorous biodynamic practices, the wine is fermented and aged entirely in used oak barrels to develop profound depth and texture. It is an expansive, commanding Champagne, delivering intense notes of baked apple, crushed chalk, and subtle spice, finishing with a bracing, saline cut. Varietal: Pinot Noir Appellation: Côte des Bar, Champagne, France Farming: Certified Biodynamic Style: Sparkling. Dry, powerful and mineral-driven
