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 ...
Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Les Crayères, La Grande Ruelle, Le Parc, Les Aigremonts, and Le Champ Muet vineyards, this Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Blanc 2022 was aged for 19 months in barrels before being bottled on January 29, 2024. Only 2,000 bottles were produced, with a total SO₂ content of 10 mg/l, reflecting the purity of the winemaking process and a respectful approach to the wine.
This cuvée reflects all the character of a still white wine from a prestigious Champagne terroir: finesse, freshness, mineral expression, and discreet balance. The color is a splendid bright straw yellow, verging on pale gold, with slightly greenish highlights. The nose is immediately floral and fruity, with white flowers accompanied by notes of ripe white peach. A hint of fine minerality can be detected in the background. On the palate, the attack is fresh and precise, with a beautiful liveliness that keeps the wine light and airy. The mid-palate reveals a moderate but well-defined texture. The ripe fruit is intensely expressed, while the liveliness becomes more insistent. The finish is quite long, with a certain amplitude, and ends on a salty note.
This white wine is best served at a temperature between 10 and 12°C to allow its full potential to emerge.
