Domaine Marguet: a biodynamic vision of Champagne.
Located at Ambonnay, in the heart of the Champagne region, Domaine Marguet stands out for its commitment to biodynamics, a Rare approach in Champagne. This conversion, initiated by Benoît Marguet, has profoundly transformed practices at Domaine.
While Benoit's parents Marguet sold their grapes to the house Krug, Benoit Marguet developed his own wine range with numerous parcel-based cuvées highlighting the diversity and richness of the old vines of Domaine.
As a fervent advocate of Biodynamics, Benoît Marguet, has revolutionized working methods by introducing biodynamic preparations, phytotherapy and aromatherapy. He has also introduced tillage with draught horses. The 8-hectare Domaine obtained Demeter certification in 2013.
Benoît's approach Marguet is guided by respect for natural balance, service to life, and delicate accompaniment of the winemaking process, avoiding any Brutality. Particular attention is paid to fermentation and ageing under wood. The use of sulfites is minimized.
At the same time, a significant effort has been made on dosage, drastically reduced or even eliminated on most cuvées. This development demonstrates that meticulous work in the vineyards produces wines that are authentic, expressive and naturally balanced by their terroir.
The culmination of this approach is represented by the cuvée Sapience, the result of a collaboration with oenologist Hervé Jestin.... See more ...
This cuvée, blended with 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay from the village of Ambonnay, a Grand Cru classified terroir in the Montagne de Reims, embodies the power and elegance of the Champagne terroir. Production is limited to 2,160 bottles, making this cuvée rare and precious, ideal for discerning connoisseurs in search of a champagne with character.
With a magnificent golden hue, clear and luminous, the color has a fine and dynamic effervescence. The nose opens with a beautiful aromatic purity with notes of citrus, pear, and apple. The whole is harmoniously underscored by chalky notes that echo the terroir. On the palate, the attack is frank and straightforward, marked by a magnificent liveliness. The mid-palate develops a delicately textured and intensely fruity flesh. The chalky minerality dominates, giving the wine a beautiful length and a mouth-watering persistence. The finish lingers on notes of candied citrus and jasmine.
The balance between fruit, mineral structure, and expression of the terroir is made possible by zero dosage of sugar and sulfur. This perfectly underscores the winemaker's commitment to natural winemaking, allowing the wine to reveal itself as it truly is.
