The champagnes from Marie-Courtin are truly something special. An ultra-fine, floating style with total fineness. Just delicate and so chic, yet absolutely unique in style thanks to uncompromising biodynamics. All her wines grow in a single plot of 2.5 hectares, which is also the total size of the domain that Dominque Moreau founded in 2000. Because all her wines come from a single vineyard, she has decided to emphasize the differences in champagnes through vinification. There are wines matured in wood, amphorae, enamel tanks and one without sulphur. All come from the 2.5 hectares of single vineyard on the Kimmeridge marl soil of the Soden, on the Côte des Bar. Winemaker Dominique Moreau, who named the estate after her grandmother, is a master of purism. Her champagnes, yesterday's entry, so to speak, are flooded with light, delicate and elegant, they always possess a suppleness and a high degree of drinking pleasure.
750 mlThe Manigance is a fine blend of lemon verbena, lemon tart and green tea, white currant and fresh yeast. It coats the mouth silky and warm-wooded with its earthy, deep mineral trace. A noble champagne in the context of the free-spirited style of winemaker Dominique Moreau. This touch of Pinot Blanc provides a little more structure and a little creamy density, cushions the purist, vertical steeliness of the Chardonnay, glitters the waves and rounds off the edges. A harmonious, coherent character wine for connoisseurs of biodynamic Champagne
Champagne Marie Courtin and the small estate that comprises the vineyards are named after winemaker Dominique Moreau's grandmother.
Dominique Moreau has been making champagne on her tiny 2.5 ha estate since 2006. The vineyard is located in Champagne's southernmost region, the Côte-de-Bars, in the village of Polisot. The winery is named after her grandmother and she produces single varietal, single vineyard, single vintage, no dosage champagnes. The vines were planted in the 1970s and are farmed organically & biodynamically.
The estate's vineyard is mainly comprised of Pinot Noir and a small section of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. The combination of soils, an east/southeast sloping exposure and her own separately cultivated yeasts allows Dominique to create wines that are electric and chiselled, with an intense brininess and minerality at their core. Marie Courtin is an exciting estate whose name and reputation are skyrocketing.
