Dominique Moreau was born and brought up in the Champagne region. She explains that there, everyone had a piece of land & vines - it was the norm. Her great-grandmother, Marie Courtin, farmed her land herself using a horse, during the First World War while the menfolk were away on the front. Dominique’s estate is located on land that was always been owned by her family. From the age of 18, she was always working on the land amongst vines somewhere. She worked part-time as a teacher in a professional viticulture school at the beginning of her adult working life, and spent the hours during which she was not teaching, farming vines. She took over the family estate in in 2000 and she began converting her vines to organic farming in 2005.
Rich and ample on the palate with terrific freshness, this is another gorgeous and deeply expressive Champagne from Dominique Moreau. The orchard fruit, crushed stone and floral notes are beautifully focused throughout. The saline-drenched finish only adds to the wine's considerable appeal.
