    The wine

    Le village de Verzenay, au sud-est de la ville de Reims et au cœur de la fameuse Montagne du même nom, possède plusieurs terroirs viticoles classés en grand cru, à partir desquels Benoit Marguet élabore de champagne élégant et tendu, d'une grande finesse. Blanc de Noirs, cette cuvée ne contient que du pinot noir planté sur sol crayeux exposé au sud-est.
    Respectant le terroir et son environnement, la maison Marguet vinifie ses raisins en barriques de bois, sans ajout de soufre. Ce vin n'est pas dosé en fin d'élaboration, ce qui permet d'exprimer ce que le terroir à de plus beau à montrer.

    Information about domain 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.
