Courtois TERRA NOSTRA 2015

A golden robe with amber glints, lifted by a fine, persistent effervescence. On the nose, candied mirabelle, elderflower and a hint of toasted bread weave together with a mineral undercurrent evoking sun-warmed clay. The palate opens with a broad, vinous attack; the generous flesh of the 2015…

Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The complete absence of dosage preserves a lively acidity, held in balance by the sun-drenched ripeness of the 2015 vintage.
Roundness
Pure Meunier expresses its full fruity generosity through an ample, enveloping texture.
Power
The warm, sun-soaked 2015 vintage lends the wine a vinous body and a distinctly concentrated aromatic profile.
Length
The finish lingers on mineral and spiced notes, the unmistakable signature of a Brut Nature of real character.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with amber glints, lifted by a fine, persistent effervescence. On the nose, candied mirabelle, elderflower and a hint of toasted bread weave together with a mineral undercurrent evoking sun-warmed clay. The palate opens with a broad, vinous attack; the generous flesh of the 2015 Meunier extends into a spiced and hazelnut-laced finish — precise, with not a trace of sweetness.

Terroirs

Sourced from the clay-limestone soils of the Vallée de la Marne at Crouttes-sur-Marne, the Meunier finds here a terroir that is at once fine-grained and rounded, well suited to aromatic complexity. The exceptional ripeness of the 2015 vintage amplifies the fruit and depth of this single-parcel cuvée.

Courtois

About this house

Founded in 1971 at Crouttes-sur-Marne by Pierre Courtois, the estate is today guided by his son Michael, the third generation, across a 6-hectare vineyard in the Vallée de la Marne. Every stage of production — from vine to disgorgement — is carried out on the estate, a mark of rare coherence and authenticity in the region.

In 2019, Michael Courtois built his new cellar from pisé made with the very earth of the vineyard, a project recognised with the TERRA AWARD 2016. This intimate bond between building and terroir embodies the house philosophy: respect for nature, sustainable practice, and faithful expression of place — right down to the name of this cuvée, Terra Nostra, 'our land'.

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

The incisive minerality and fine bubbles of this Brut Nature pair perfectly with the buttery softness of warm gougères.

The bright acidity and roundness of the Meunier bring out the delicate, briny freshness of a salmon tartare.

The fruity generosity of the 2015 vintage and the aromatic complexity of the Meunier make a magnificent match with the earthy, umami depth of a wild morel risotto.
