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 Coteaux Champenois Bouzy cuvée is produced using a direct pressing process, followed by fermentation and aging for 19 months in barrels. The bottling took place on January 29, 2024, for a limited production of approximately 1,000 bottles. The wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir, with no added sulfur (0 mg/l total SO₂).
In the glass, the wine displays a magnificent light ruby red color of moderate intensity with purple highlights. The nose opens with aromas of red and black berries such as raspberry, morello cherry, and blueberry. Floral nuances of peony and rose quickly emerge, while hints of forest appear in the background. There are also hints of white pepper and a very subtle woody note. On the palate, the attack is soft and supple. The body is fluid, with delicate contours, carried by moderate acidity and fine, silky tannins. The fruit continues to express itself, intertwined with a touch of spice. The clean, racy finish prolongs the tasting experience with a fruity impression.
