100% Pinot Noir from a single parcel in the Cotes des Bar.  Made with zero dosage.

 "The star of these new releases from proprietor Dominique Moreau, the 2009 Efflorescence takes hold of all the senses and never lets up. Everything just works. The flavors are deep, expressive and beautifully layered in the glass, with a fabulous combination of Pinot Noir depth and structure. Hints of honey, mint, flowers and spices inform the rich, resonant close. Over the last few years, the Marie Courtin Champagnes have surged in quality. Readers who want to understand what the fuss is all about should start here. This is a gorgeous showing. Disgorged November 2013, non-dosé. (Drink between 2014-2021)"
