Marie Courtin, Eloquence Blanc Blancs Extra Brut Brut Zero The palate is wonderfully complexThe 2018 Extra Brut Eloquence is magnificent. Elegant and layered, the 2018 is ripe, pure and very vinous in feel. It shows a hint of reduction, reminiscent at times of a great still white wine. The long, pure finish is a thing of beauty. Eloquence is 100% Chardonnay from a single vineyard site in Polisot on clay limestone soils. Zero dosage. Disgorged, November, 2022.
