Ambonnay Grand Cru Extra-Brut Marguet 2018

The wine

Marguet's Shaman Grand Cru is a rosé blanc de noirs without added sugar or sulphites. Its nose combines an impressive complexity and subtlety, rich in aromas of quince, green almond and white flowers. This cuvée also reveals a very indulgent side, thanks to a silky texture which coats the mouth. It will make a perfect accompaniment to a meal, from starter to dessert.

About the Producer Marguet

Domaine Marguet in the commune of Ambonnay was founded by Emile Marguet in 1875. The 10 hectare property is currently run by Benoît Marguet, who trained as a wine grower in the USA and with Mumm. The vineyard has been certified biodynamic since 2009. Benoît Marguet treats his vines with phytotherapy (the infusion and decoction of medicinal plants) and aromatherapy (use of essential oils); he also ploughs his land with horses and allows the grass to grow around the vines. In the winery, the single parcel vinification process is clean and precise and uses virtually no sulphur. The élevage is very well executed. The outcome is some very fine champagnes that are full of character and go well with food. This domain is attracting more and more champagne lovers.
