2015 Marie Courtin Présence Extra Brut

12% abv
Disgorged January 2019
Zero dosage

A special mention for this wine. First time I've had a Champagne comprised of a blend of Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. 

I am a fan of Cantina Terlano Vorberg Riserva,  which is 100% Pinot Bianco, so was very eager to try this Présence cuvee ...

The Pinot Blanc balances the crystalline cut of the Chardonnay making this wine very approachable. I fell in love immediately with the honeyed pear character of the Pinot Blanc complementing the lemony notes from the Chardonnay, all underlain by an attractive salinity. 

A new reference point cuvee that definitely warrants further exploration. 

Highly recommended... Dominque Moreau is rockin' the Aube 👍🍾
