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
