"Proprietor Dominique Moreau has made compelling Champagnes for a number of years now ... The best wines in this range are truly unforgettable."
- Antonio Galloni,Vinous
Named one of the "Top 10 Estates to Know" byDecanter,Marie Courtin's highly distinctive grower Champagnes have attracted a devoted fanbase that routinely scoops them up on release.
Naming her estate for her grandmother, grower/winemaker Dominique Moreau has been making vintage Champagnes from her tiny, 2.5-hectare vineyard since 2005, all crafted in a zero-dosage style. Located in Champagne's southernmost region, geographically closer to Chablis than Epernay, Dominique farms her low-yielding estate vineyard with biodynamic principles, its southern location sharing Chablis' slightly warmer temperatures and Kimmeridgian limestone soil, resulting in richly textured Pinot Noir with matching acidity.
A "stunning range" according to Antonio Galloni ofVinousthat is both "thrilling" and "deeply satisfying," these exquisite, terroir-driven gems from Marie Courtin boast an intensity and minerality rooted in Dominque's meticulous vineyard practices and precision in the cellar, with the added dimension of singular style and personality that are the basis of their top-notch reputation among Champagne insiders.
The 2017 Extra-Brut Concordance delivers gently high-toned aromas of apple, warm biscuits and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, taut and racy palate animated by acids and concluding with a saline finish.
