Marie-Courtin Champagne "Indulgence" Rosé Extra-Brut (2019)

Dominque Moreau, owner and winemaker of Marie-Courtin (named after her grandmother), is one of the most talented as well as one of the nicest producers in Champagne. With the 2005 vintage, Dominique began producing a series of single-vineyard, single-variety, single-vintage, zero-dosage Champagnes from biodynamically grown grape. Her minuscule vineyard holdings encompass roughly 2.5 hectares, allowing her to produce around 16,000 bottles annually.

She has been one of the leaders in the movement for organic viticulture in Champagne, beginning the process to organic conversion in 2006 and achieving certification in 2010.

Made from 100% Pinot Noir that macerated for four days in stainless steel vats. Fermened with natural yeasts and aged for four years in stainless steel. No filtration, no fining, no dosage.

If drinking now, we recommend decanting this Champagne. You will lose a bit of the bubbles, but the Champagne enjoys oxygen. Having a lot of experience with this style from Dominique, this also benefits from a handful of years of additional aging. It is a complex and savory style of rosé Champagne!
