The wine
The Grand cru Champagne designation is reserved for the region’s most prestigious terroirs. Only 17 villages enjoy this distinction, most of them located in the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines are planted on south-facing slopes, rooted in Campanian chalk overlaid with clay and silt. In the winery, fermentation begins spontaneously in oak casks, without the addition of any oenological inputs. The wine is then aged on lees for eight months in seasoned barrels, without stirring. The second fermentation takes place in bottle, followed by three to four years’ ageing on laths, giving the wine its complexity and finesse.
The wine displays a beautiful pale yellow hue. The expressive, refined bouquet reveals aromas of white flowers, citrus zest and juicy pear, complemented by subtle notes of fresh hazelnut. Lively, taut and saline on the first sip, the palate offers a beautifully chiselled texture carried by an elegant bead.
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.
