Champagne Marie-Courtin Résonance 2017
Champagne, FranceChampagne Marie-Courtin is run by the feisty and energetic Dominique Moreau and is named for her Grandmother. The estate covers 2 hectares in Polisot, near the Seine River in the southern Aube, and is planted to mostly pinot noir. She farms biodynamically and ferments native in stainless before transferring to the bottle for secondary ferment. The wines are bottled with zero dosage. This cuvée is from 40+ year old vines and was disgorged in January 2021. Tight and nimble, with white cherry, wild raspberry, rhubarb brioche cut with a cranberry acidity through a buzzing, limestone base. Very pure and direct, this lingers with a trace of raspberry on the finish.Tasted: 19 November 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $107.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
