Marie Courtin Champagne Extra Brut Efflorescence 2019

Marie Courtin Champagne Extra Brut Efflorescence 2019 is a characterful single-vintage Champagne that showcases Pinot Noir in a pure, expressive style. Crafted in the Côte des Bar, it stands out for its precision, freshness, and quietly distinctive personality, offering a more artisanal take on Champagne with real depth and personality.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse, this Champagne opens with aromas of red berries, citrus zest, white flowers, and subtle brioche notes. On the palate it is lively and focused, with Pinot Noir bringing texture, tension, and a delicate red-fruited nuance balanced by chalky minerality and a clean, dry finish. As an Extra Brut cuvée, it emphasizes clarity and freshness rather than richness, making it especially appealing to those who enjoy elegant, terroir-driven Champagne. It has the structure to develop further over the next several years, gaining more complexity and nuance with time in bottle.

Production
Efflorescence 2019 comes from Pinot Noir grown in the Côte des Bar, an area known for its limestone and Kimmeridgian clay soils that lend Champagne a distinctive mineral edge and ripe, expressive fruit. The vintage was harvested by hand, preserving grape quality and allowing careful selection in the vineyard. Vinification is carried out with a minimal-intervention philosophy, aimed at reflecting the character of the site and vintage with as little manipulation as possible.

Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, grilled prawns, roast chicken, and dishes featuring subtle cream sauces or mushroom notes. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to best appreciate its freshness and texture, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short rest in the glass can help the aromas open up.

Producer
Marie Courtin is a respected grower-producer estate founded by Dominique Moreau in the Côte des Bar, named in honor of her grandmother. The domaine has earned recognition for its terroir-focused, biodynamic approach and for producing Champagnes of remarkable precision and individuality. Today, Marie Courtin is considered one of the most distinctive voices in the region, particularly among drinkers seeking elegant, low-intervention expressions of Champagne.
