The Shaman cuvée comes from the great terroirs of Montagne de Reims, Ambonnay, and Bouzy, cultivated using biodynamic methods. The soil is mainly worked using animal traction, and minimal intervention during vinification, along with very low sulfur dosing, allow the grapes to express their full potential. Along with Yuman, Shaman is one of Maison Marguet's iconic cuvées.
The blend of 84% Pinot Noir and 16% Chardonnay reflects the desire to express the power of the terroir, while retaining elegance and depth. Aging on lees, in wooden containers or barrels, as well as the absence of dosage, result in a wine with a direct, meticulous, vibrant expression.
With a very light gold color and fine effervescence, this cuvée offers a complex and seductive nose. Aromas of raspberry, grapefruit, and yuzu lemon blend harmoniously. A more mineral register appears after a few minutes, along with a very slight touch of oak, a sign of precise aging. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied, carried by the Pinot Noir, which lends power and substance, while the Chardonnay brings finesse. The body is dynamic, carried by a vibrant liveliness. The aromas unfold deliciously and carry us to a long finish.
This Shaman 22 reveals a rare balance between intensity and precision: the fullness of red fruit, citrus brightness, racy structure, and assertive minerality. A high-flying wine, aimed at discerning enthusiasts in search of authenticity.
