Marie Courtin Résonance Extra Brut (2014)

12% abv
Disgorged July 2018
Zero dosage 
100% Pinot Noir 

A "wow" champagne with beautiful energy and freshness! Red currant fruit underlain by an elegantly dry framework of tonic and chalk. The non-dosage, pinot noir-driven palate is absolutely intoxicating. Fine bubbles contribute greatly to the overall texture and balance. Very alluring nose of florals with hints of mint.

I love this wine and look forward to trying more cuvee's.

Producer Notes:

Dominique Moreau’s 2.5ha of vines are all located within a single parcel in the village of Polisot, in the Côte des Bars. The winery is named after her Grandmother.

Rêsonance cuvee is produced from massale selection pinot noir grown from a top of slope parcel on Kimmeridgian limestone.

The name "Résonance” refers to the balancing energies of earth and sky that affect the creation of a wine from its surrounding terroir. 

Indigenous yeast is used in the winemaking. After an eight to ten day fermentation, the wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation. Résonance spends nine to twelve months in stainless steel tank and is then bottled and left on the lees for about two and a half years.
