Marie Courtin Eloquence Extra Brut 2008

Stony and taut, with lemon peel, dried pear and crushed white fruit at the core. A whisper of oxidative complexity adds dimension without softening the wine's spine, this stays focused and nervy throughout. Persistent bead with a long, chalky finish that lingers. The 2008 vintage pulls Chardonnay into sharp relief, delivering intensity that feels earned rather than imposed.
