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 powerful and refined Blanc de Noirs Champagne is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Bouzy Grand Cru vineyard. Marguet offers a wine that combines roundness, depth, and freshness, ideal for accompanying rich dishes or for contemplative tasting.
With a deep golden color and bright amber highlights, it has a relatively fine effervescence. In the glass, it opens with an intense and complex first nose, marked by aromas of apple, Williams pear, and candied white fruits. A touch of toasted brioche and acacia honey adds a gourmet dimension, while a subtle, slightly smoky minerality recalls the clay-limestone terroir of Bouzy. After aeration, notes of white hawthorn flowers, acacia, and roasted hazelnuts reveal themselves, adding depth. On the palate, the attack is round and enveloping. Flavors of baked apple and quince dominate, accompanied by a touch of vanilla. The texture is creamy and structured, carried by a balanced acidity that brings freshness. The finish is long and persistent, leaving an impression of dried fruit with a hint of salinity that enhances the whole.
