These are fun to drink. Mostly because it's a BdN that doesn't really show itself as a BdN. Yes, there's red fruit there, but it's light and mineral. Wasn't as wowed by this as other bottles I've had of Marie Courtin; still fun nonetheless and tasty.

Champagne and Sushi (Masu, Mpls, MN): Light gold color. Drank a glass over 45 minutes. Lots going on here; complex and savory, cherry, truffle cream; full bodied, red fruits, floral, fresh herbs, citrus, and apple, dry stone and somewhat austere on the finish.

Dég. 2019 / 2015 base vintage. Healthy lighter golden yellow color. Notes of wild strawberries, some black cherries, there is also a nice mineral element, some spices, too, chalk and some pepper. It‘s medium-full bodied, get richer while it‘s opening up, has medium-high acidity and beautiful medium mousse, also just a touch of bitterness adding complexity to the pretty long finish. A very pretty BdN Extra Brut and a very good relative value in today‘s hot Champagne market.

100% Pinot Noir, biodynamic farming, wild fermentation with 36 months aging. Pressed over 12 hours. Tasted as part of a masterclass. Aromas of biscuit, roasted nuts, toast and wild red berries. With the farming style adds aromas of sac du bon (dirty socks :). Absolutely delicious! Served at 10 degrees so we could really enjoy the aromas and taste. No dosage. Cote Des Bars. Limited released.

Disgorged May 2019. This was firing on all cylinders, and definitely the best bottle I've had of this cuvee. Aromatically alive, and wonderfully balanced with a great melange of softened red fruit and mineral backbone. It also offers a bit of Chablis character, which FMIII's on-point note calls out.
