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:
"Single parcel of Chardonnay located in the village of Polisot near the Pinot vineyard in the Cote des Bars. Massale selection, 15-20 yr old vines. Vinified and aged in neutral barriques. Yeasts cultivated from estate vines are used for both primary and secondary fermentations. Bottled with a no dosage disgorgement."
