Marie-Courtin's Résonance Extra Brut is an exceptional Champagne crafted in the spirit of purity and minimal intervention, reflective of winemaker Dominique Moreau's philosophy. Honoring her grandmother, Marie Courtin, the estate focuses on single-vineyard, single-vintage expressions from biodynamically farmed Pinot Noir vines in the Côte des Bar. The Extra Brut designation speaks to the low dosage, allowing the terroir's true voice to resonate. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured on lees to enhance complexity, this Champagne is a vibrant testament to the meticulous care from vine to bottle, offering a unique and terroir-driven experience.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Marie-Courtin Résonance Extra Brut captivates with a lively stream of fine bubbles and a golden hue.On the nose, it is vivacious with primary aromas of crisp green apple, ripe pear, and a squeeze of lemon, complemented by a floral lift and a hint of brioche from its lees aging. The palate is invigorated by a piercing minerality and a racy acidity that defines the wine's backbone, leading to a creamy texture with subtle autolytic notes. The finish is long and clean, with a persistent minerality and a delicate complexity that makes it a versatile companion to a wide array of dishes. This Champagne not only celebrates the moment but also invites contemplation of its fine craftsmanship.

The history of Champagne dates back to the early 17th century, when the region was first planted with vines. The region was initially known for its still wines, but it was not until the 19th century that the production of sparkling wines began. The first sparkling Champagne was produced in 1836, and the region has since become synonymous with sparkling wines.
