Benoit Marguet Shaman Grand Cru Brut Nature Rose 2022

Grape: Chardonnay Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2022
Type: Sparkling

The Marguet family started producing champagne in the mid-1850s but unfortunately went out of business; descendents of the family revived it in the 1970’s with Benoît Marguet at the helm starting in 2004. Located in Montagne de Reims, France, the 8.5 hectare estate is dedicated to both biodynamic and organic practices. Sourced from various Grand Cru sites, including Ambonnay, this wine is predominantly Chardonnay blended with Pinot Noir. It is barrel-fermented with native yeast for added textural complexity and sees no final dosage, retaining the crisp primary fruit characteristics. Crisp and energetic, this champagne exhibits notes of redcurrant, cranberry, and grapefruit, with a slight herbal note and a long, mineral finish. Certified organic, certified biodynamic, low-intervention/natural wine.  75% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, including 8% Coteaux Champenois Rouge for color. Estate fruit drawn from vineyards within the terroirs of Ambonnay and Bouzy. Brut Nature and aged in oak as are all wines at the Marguet domaine. Base 2022 with 10% reserve. Disgorged March 2025, 12ppm SO2 added at bottling.
