Marie Courtin Efflorescence Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut, Champagne, France 2019

Efflorescence Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut is a pure, terroir‑driven Champagne made exclusively from Pinot Noir, showcasing remarkable energy and precision. The 2019 vintage offers aromas of red apple, pear skin, citrus zest, and subtle brioche, layered with chalky minerality and a touch of spice. On the palate it is vibrant and focused, with brisk acidity, fine mousse, and a saline, mineral‑driven finish that reflects its Kimmeridgian soils. Elegant yet expressive, it’s a compelling example of artisanal, low‑intervention Champagne with both immediacy and depth.

"The 2019 Extra Brut Efflorescence shows the depth and textural resonance of this great vintage. Ample and layered in the glass, with tremendous substance, the Efflorescence has so much to offer. Red plum, mint, herbs and chamomile open gradually, but it is the wine's palate feel that impresses most. No dosage. Disgorged: April 2025; multiple disgorgements throughout the year." Vinous 94
