2009 Marie Courtin Efflorescence Blanc De Noirs Extra Brut Champagne

Associated with luxury, celebration, and romance, the region, Champagne, is home to the world’s most prized sparkling wine. In order to bear the label, ‘Champagne’, a sparkling wine must originate from this northeastern region of France—called Champagne—and adhere to strict quality standards. Made up of the three towns Reims, Épernay, and Aÿ, it was here that the traditional method of sparkling wine production was both invented and perfected, birthing a winemaking technique as well as a flavor profile that is now emulated worldwide.

Critical Acclaim

95 Wine Advocate

The 2008 Extra Brut Efflorescence captures the house style at its finest. Here the cooler vintage brings out considerable tension in the Pinot Noir. The 2008 boasts serious energy, precision and lift all the way through to the intensely taut, saline-infused finish. Today, minerality, acidity and structure are very much present, while the Pinot is felt mostly in the wine’s weight and texture rather than in the aromas and flavors. I imagine the 2008 will develop more complexity in bottle, even though it will always be distinguished for its razor-like focus. The 2008 Efflorescence is one of the most distinctive Champagnes I tasted this year. This is another great showing from Dominique Morneau. Disgorged May 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018.

A few months ago, I was having lunch at Le Bernardin, one of New York's finest and most elegant restaurants, and I was served a glass of Marie-Courtin Champagne. The wine was so vivid. It took me back to my tasting at the winery the year before. I couldn't help but notice how a wine of such agrarian and simple – in the very best sense of the word – was so at home in such an elegant restaurant. Pinot Noir takes on racy contours in the 2008 Extra Brut Efflorescence. Still quite taut, the 2008 is all about focus. From time to time the breadth of the Pinot comes through, but it is the wine's sheer vibrancy that seems to speak most. This is a fabulous showing.
