Winemaker Dominique Moreau named her estate, Marie Courtin, in honor of her grandmother whom she describes as a “woman of the earth”. The aspiration of this winery goes beyond expressing terroir but are instead guided by a spirituality that’s kept close at hand. Much like the Burgundian philosophies that drive many of today’s exciting Côte des Bar producers, the focus here is on single vineyard, single vintage, single variety, low dosage Champagnes. Sélection Massale is employed to naturally keep the yields low.

 About the cuvee, Floraison importer notes:

"Harvested from massale selection Pinot Noir vines 35-40 years in age from a single parcel located in Polisot (Cote des Bar). Harvested from the bottom of the hill where there is more clay. Vinified and fermented in used barriques. Yeasts cultivated from estate vines are used for both primary and secondary fermentations. Bottled with a no dosage disgorgement."
