FEATURES
🏰 Marie Courtin is a highly regarded grower-producer in the Côte des Bar, known for her biodynamic, single-vineyard, single-varietal, zero-dosage Champagnes. The 2021 vintage in Champagne presented climatic challenges, including frost, but the Côte des Bar benefited from a slightly milder climate, yielding well-balanced grapes with fine maturity and preserved acidity, ideal for crafting Extra Brut Champagnes. Marie Courtin's Prestance Extra Brut is typically a Blanc de Noirs (100% Pinot Noir) or a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, reflecting the Kimmeridgian limestone soils of the region. Expect a wine with a pale yellow hue, fine effervescence, and complex aromas of white fruits, floral nuances, brioche, honey, and distinct chalky minerality. The palate is fresh, precise, with a beautiful structure combining richness and mineral tension, and a silky texture balanced by vibrant acidity. 【A biodynamic, zero-dosage Champagne showcasing the unique terroir of the Côte des Bar】.
