Champagne Marie Copinet
Marie-Laure Copinet and her winemaker husband Alexandre Kowal have taken over her family's estate, founded by her father Jacques in 1975. Before then, the Copinets were selling their fruit to Moet, but Jacques' work at Taittinger led him to decide to create their own grower champagne (RM) estate. They are based in the tiny Champagne village of Montgenost (population 140) in the Côtes des Sézanne, and they own 9 hectares of vineyards in Côtes des Sézanne, Côtes des Bar, and Vallée de la Marne, producing only 5,500 cases annually, and began organic conversion in 2018. Nos pas dans... is a series of soil / grape studies put out by Marie Copinet.
In this case this is Pinot Noir from 2 lieu-dit rooted in the kimmeridgian soils of the Côtes des Bar. From the 2021 vintage, this was native fermented, with full MLF, in stainless and 15% oak barrels. It was disgorged November 2025, with 0 dosage.
“Pure strawberries and violets, together with bright lime-peel freshness. Firm acidity on the medium- to full-bodied palate with fine and long mousse and a lemon-bush finish. 100% pinot noir. From organically grown grapes with Ecocert certification. Disgorged in 2023. Dosage 0g/L. Tense style. Drinkable now, but it will gain complexity with aging.” 94 points, Aldo Fiordelli, JamesSuckling.com
