Benoit Marguet

Champagne as the maximum expression of the soil and its inherent and surrounding energies and naturalness, prepared with minimal intervention. It is more of an accompaniment than a preparation that defines Benoîts Marguet's work.

According to the spiritually-minded winemaker, who is the fifth generation to run the family winery, this is only possible through the consistent use of biodynamic methods - and is clear from the naming of his two signature champagnes, Shaman and Yuman.

Plots are located in both the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, giving Marguet the opportunity to exploit the full potential of the grape varieties.

The champagnes are completely independent, unmistakable and expressive in their concise yet subtle aroma. Finely woven, inspiring, vital, charismatic. They do not contain any dosage and are focused on structure and inner structure, regardless of whether you try the two individual vineyards, the village cuvées or the entry-level champagnes already mentioned.

Horses are used to till the soil in order to avoid compaction, to emphasize traditional craftsmanship and to enable energetic influence. Pure yeasts are avoided as much as possible, and the use of sulfur is reduced to a minimum or, if the vintage permits, avoided entirely. In order to only use natural materials when developing the base wines, this takes place exclusively in wooden barrels of different sizes. For Benoît, these (non-)measures are essential to preserve liveliness in the later wine and to achieve the highest, unadulterated quality. A man of conviction, visionary and experienced winemaker, a role model for many colleagues and, despite only owning 10 hectares of vineyards (some of the yield is still sold to Krug), a much-discussed figure when it comes to stylistic and agricultural change in Champagne.

Benoit Marguet Shaman 22 - Bio

84% Pinot Noir16% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l Juicy, salty, mineral and complex! The cuvée of annually changing portions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from pure Grand Cru locations was fermented in barrels up to nine years old. The Benoît Marguet champagnes are filled without added sulfur and without dosage. Description of Sebastian Bordthäuser about 2016: Nose: The Shaman by Champagne Marguet from the 2016 vintage has been on the lees for around two years and entices with a richly filled display: yeast braid, brioche and pretzel biscuits as well as a generous piece of butter outline the notes of autolysis, which are enhanced by fine notes of apricot with increasing ventilation in the glass . Stoved apples follow, which are accompanied by herbal spices with aromas of sorrel and Giersch. Grounded through the obligatory ground oyster shell, the nose can look forward to the first sip. Mouth: With a creamy texture and small-sparkling Mousseux in the first taste, it is initially a bit quick-tempered, which can be attributed to the short time after the disgorgement and will soon go away. The bread notes of sourdough and pretzels of pretzels are aromatically reflected in the nose. On the palate it is precise but by no means leptosome, but with a good juice and joyful appearance. Its mouth-watering saline vein nestles around the slim acid nerve and, in combination with the fine phenolic, gives it its non-slip, non-slip feel that accelerates its drinking speed immensely. Fruity and tart with animating notes of red, ripe apple in a long, smoky finish. Food Pairing: - Ravioli with young spinach in nutmeg butter and crumbs - Mussels with french fries - Fried chicken wings with red fermented tofu
