Marie Courtin’s Champagne Efflorescence Extra Brut 2017 is an exquisite single-vintage Blanc de Noirs crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards in the Côte des Bars. This Champagne reveals a captivating bouquet of ripe red berries, black cherry, and plum, interwoven with floral notes of violet, a hint of citrus zest, and an underlying chalky minerality. On the palate, it is both vibrant and textural, offering flavors of red currants, candied orange peel, and a touch of spice, supported by a creamy mousse and bracing acidity. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and elegantly structured, reflecting the wine’s purity and complexity.

Efflorescence showcases Marie Courtin’s dedication to biodynamic viticulture and minimalist winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested from a single vineyard in Polisot, planted in Kimmeridgian limestone soils, which lend exceptional minerality and finesse to the wine. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged on lees to develop depth and texture. The Extra Brut style, with minimal dosage, allows the full expression of the terroir and vintage to shine.

This Blanc de Noirs pairs wonderfully with refined dishes such as seared duck breast, roasted root vegetables, or creamy mushroom risotto. Its complexity and elegance also make it a delightful choice for celebratory moments or contemplative sipping. Marie Courtin’s Efflorescence 2017 is a remarkable Champagne that captures the artistry of biodynamic winemaking and the depth of Pinot Noir at its finest.

Dominique Moreau's Champagne Marie-Courtin has been the darling of critics like Peter Liem for over a decade now. Why? Because she consistently leads the pack in her unwavering approach to expressing her incredible terroir.

Dominique farms (organically) a single 2.5 hectare plot of east facing vines in the Aube. Its clay and Kimmeridgian limestone soils, famously found in Chablis, produce some of the worlds greatest whites. The warmer Aube lends itself to ripening Pinot Noir—her favorite grape—laced with hallmark Chablisien acidity. These contrasting characteristics make the Marie-Courtin wines so enthralling.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
