Marie Courtin Champagne Presence Millesime Extra Brut 2020

Marie Courtin Presence Millesime Extra Brut 2020 is a finely detailed Champagne that highlights the freshness and precision of its Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc blend. Crafted in a style that favors purity, tension and finesse, it offers a distinctive expression of the Côte des Bar while carrying the quiet prestige of a grower-led Champagne house.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, luminous pale gold color with a very fine mousse. The nose is elegant and nuanced, with notes of citrus peel, white flowers, green apple, chalk, and subtle brioche, framed by a clean mineral edge. On the palate, it is dry and focused, with lively acidity, a silken texture and a crisp, savory finish. The Extra Brut style keeps the wine taut and precise, allowing the fruit and chalky minerality to shine. While already expressive, it should also reward a few years of cellaring, gaining additional depth and complexity over time.

Production
Produced in Champagne, where cool climate and chalk-influenced soils help preserve freshness and definition, this cuvée reflects a terroir-driven approach. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure only the best fruit is selected, and vinification is handled with a light touch to protect aromatic clarity and terroir expression. The Extra Brut dosage emphasizes precision, balance and transparency in the final wine.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally around 8-10°C. It pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, shellfish, delicate fish dishes, fresh goat cheese, and refined poultry preparations. Decanting is generally not necessary, though a short opening in the glass can help the wine reveal its full aromatic range.
