Dominique Moreau's Champagne Marie-Courtin has been the darling of critics like Peter Liem for over a decade now. Why? Because she consistently leads the pack in her unwavering approach to expressing her incredible terroir.

Dominique farms (organically) a single 2.5 hectare plot of east facing vines in the Aube. Its clay and Kimmeridgian limestone soils, famously found in Chablis, produce some of the worlds greatest whites. The warmer Aube lends itself to ripening Pinot Noir—her favorite grape—laced with hallmark Chablisien acidity. These contrasting characteristics make the Marie-Courtin wines so enthralling.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2016 Extra Brut Efflorescence is fabulous. Rich, creamy and expansive on the palate, the Efflorescence marries intense Pinot Noir character with the razor-sharp focus that is such a signature here. There's tremendous depth and Pinot intensity. As good as the 2016 is, it only really blossoms with aeration. Don't be afraid to open this in advance and drink out of a larger glass that will allow the Pinot flavors and textures to fully emerge." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 93
"The 2016 Extra-Brut Efflorescence is showing beautifully, offering up aromas of white currants, crisp peach, white flowers and buttery pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pure and pillowy palate that's racy and intense, concluding with a chalky finish. It's produced from barrel-fermented Pinot Noir grown in the village of Polisot."
