Marie Courtin Eloquence Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut NV
Marie Courtin Eloquence Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut NV is a biodynamic, single-varietal Chardonnay Champagne from the Côte des Bars in the southern Champagne region, specifically from a single vineyard in Polisot. Made with organic and biodynamic practices, the wine undergoes fermentation in used barrels with native yeasts and follows the traditional méthode champenoise for the second fermentation and bottle aging.
This Extra Brut Champagne is known for its intense minerality and refreshing acidity, with tasting notes featuring fresh white fruits, citrus peel, floral nuances, brioche, toasted bread, and a subtle smoky, balsamic quality. It offers a lean, elegant profile with a balance of creamy texture and vibrant freshness, often described as reminiscent of a rich Chablis but with the sparkle and complexity of Champagne.
The wine pairs excellently with seafood, shellfish, and white fish, making it a refined and expressive choice for those who appreciate Champagne with natural winemaking philosophy and depth. It typically has an alcohol content around 12-13% and is regarded as a vibrant, precise, and mineral-driven expression of Blanc de Blancs Champagne.
