Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The meunier-led blend imparts a citrus-tinged vivacity and a mentholated freshness characteristic of the Vallée de la Marne.
Roundness
The chardonnay contributes a fine richness and notes of candied fruit that soften and bind the whole.
Body
An elegant rather than imposing brut, true to the artisan style of the maison.
Length
The finish draws out on accents of pomelo and citrus, carried by a quality clay-limestone terroir.

TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in colour with green highlights, fine and persistent mousse. On the nose, aromas of apple, pear and white blossom mingle with a delicate brioche note acquired through extended lees ageing. The palate opens with a bright, fresh attack; the roundness of the chardonnay tempers the vivacity of the meunier, and the finish lingers on notes of pomelo and an elegant, mentholated freshness.

Terroirs

Vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne at Crouttes-sur-Marne, on clay-limestone hillsides rich in marl that lend depth, length and vitality. The parcels are spread across three villages: Crouttes-sur-Marne (68%), Charly-sur-Marne (12%) and Villiers-Saint-Denis (20%).

Courtois

About this house

Founded in 1971 in Crouttes-sur-Marne, the first village on the Champagne tourist route, Maison Pierre Courtois is a family-run artisan domaine now led by Michael Courtois, the third generation, who took the helm in 2013. Across 6 carefully tended hectares, every stage of production is carried out on the estate, preserving the singular expression of this Marne terroir.

In 2019, Michael deepened his commitment to the land by constructing his new cuverie from raw earth drawn from the very soils of his vines — a striking gesture, conceived with architect Thierry Bonne, that embodies the maison's philosophy: rootedness in terroir and a coherence between the wine and the place that gave it life.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

Its fine bubbles and restrained dosage make it the ideal companion to warm gougères, whose melted cheese echoes the brioche notes on the nose.

Starter

The lemony vivacity of the meunier harmonises beautifully with the briny freshness and citrus of a salmon tartare.

Main course

The fruity roundness of this cuvée accompanies the tender flesh of a roast poultry dish with great elegance.
