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 ...
The Sapience Œnothèque cuvée from Maison Marguet embodies elegance and refinement. A blend of 50% Chardonnay, 25% Meunier, and 25% Pinot Noir, it combines freshness, minerality, and remarkable tension.
The color is a light straw yellow, bright and brilliant in the glass. The bubbles are fine and regular. The nose opens with a bouquet dominated by aromas of lemon, blood orange, and bergamot. Added to this are floral nuances and a slight touch of wood for added depth. The palate starts with a lively and tense attack: a frank and structuring acidity immediately gives it tone. The mid-palate displays a beautiful texture, full-bodied but well controlled. We find the citrus fruits of the nose, apple and subtle spicy flavors. The texture is slightly creamy, but without heaviness. The finish is long, salty, and airy. The minerality of the limestone balances the whole and prolongs the aromatic persistence.
Although already appealing, it will benefit from a few years of cellaring to develop its full complexity.
