This is an outstanding example of 100% Pinot Noir, crafted from 40-year-old vines planted in limestone soils. Marie-Courtin
Efflorescence Extra Brut 2008 has the merest blush of pink when held up to the light, and the nose is an ebullient, fresh expression of ripe strawberries, raspberries, McIntosh apples, rose petal and kirsch. Weighty and full, the center of gravity lies in a vein of bright acidity, minerality and subtle touch of Fleur de Sel. Finishes with cherry pit and blood orange. Disgorged 03 2013

Clarity of fruit. Balanced, expressive nose of mineral and soft brioche. Acid a little untamed at the moment. Intense length for days. Built for the long haul. Disgorgement 1/13.

This is Pinot Champagne on its game, notes of red and white fruits mingle with brioche and a nice spine of minerality. Refreshing and contemplatively delicious

'08. Just gorgeous. Again and again. Sapient, as Brillat-Savarin might say. Balanced, precise. Beautiful.
