This is the wine that made Dominique Moreau's name: Concordance, her Blanc de Noirs bottled with no sulfur at all, the third of her three Blanc de Noirs cuvées. Going sans soufre in Champagne is a high-wire act, and you can only pull it off with farming like hers. She works just 2.5 hectares in Polisot with biodynamic certification, makes her own compost, plows, and de-buds every spring to keep rot away. Polisot sits in the Côte des Bar at Champagne's southern end, closer to Chablis than to Reims. The climate there is slightly warmer, which Pinot Noir especially likes, and the Kimmeridgian limestone underneath keeps the wines fresh in the way Chablis is fresh. Both fermentations, the first and the second in bottle, run on native yeast that Moreau cultivated from her own grapes during the 2003 harvest. She named the estate after her grandmother, Marie Courtin, a "woman of the earth," and a Champagne with nothing added to mask the fruit or the place fits that name. Take her advice and pour it into a white wine glass rather than a flute, because the extra air helps it open up.

More about Marie Courtin

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.

Perfect Pairings

A wedge of Chaource (the Aube's own soft cow's-milk cheese) with warm gougères; roast chicken with morels and cream; mushroom risotto; seared scallops in brown butter; jamón ibérico.

Tasting Profile

Expect a bone-dry, zero-dosage Blanc de Noirs from the Côte des Bar: red apple, wild strawberry and citrus peel with chalky, lightly bready notes. Typically it has real weight and power on the palate, kept taut by bright, Chablis-like acidity and a fine mousse. The finish runs long and saline, with no sweetness to soften the edges.

Map of main subregions of the Champagne wine region.

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!
