Nicolas: "It's our daughter's name. During the 2004 harvest, my wife Marie-Noëlle tried every must directly from the press, as she normally does. She had the feeling that three plots of old vines gave a very good taste: ripe, complex, elegant ... everything she loves. So she decided to let some of these pressings mature together. In February, during the base wine tastings, these plots confirmed that they had the potential to make a great vintage. Since my wife gave birth to our daughter in 2004 (December, so she was pregnant during the harvest), she naturally decided to dedicate this beautiful cuvée to her. Then, year after year, the vines continue to age and when the vintage gives it, Marie-Noelle still assembles this vintage.
The vines face east on a thin layer of silite with a base of gravel and pure chalk. The eastern exposure gives the balance between photosynthesis and minerality.
On the label is a girl, very well dressed, but with a natural style, because this cuvée is elegant, with finesse, but without makeup, only with the natural taste. The girl is carrying a bird cage, but the cage is open. It should show that we are open to nature and that nature should sing and express itself in a natural way. Life in nature is life. It is a metaphor for our method of taking care of the vines and the soil.”
Tasting SEP20: Very nice wood note, relatively salty, makes it super exciting, a bit more pressure and presence than Eusebe, you can't taste Zero, also has something delicate, nice Chardonnay fruit, chalky, chalky.

Yet red fruity and with a fine yeast flavour, wonderfully balanced.Fabio OCT24: Ripe citrus, black bread rind, delicate fine oxidation, very elegant & complex, fine perlage on the palate, ripe red fruit, beautiful saltiness, a pleasure to drink with a lot of sophistication.
Nicolas: "Arsène is the first name of the son of Jérôme, our friend who has worked with us for many years now.Baptizing a cuvée Arsène means integrating Jérôme a little more into the history of our house. On the label, Arsène is very elegant, like the vintage it characterizes. He is tall and his posture oscillates between rigor and relaxation, attesting that this wine, despite its Grand Cru origins and its vintage, remains accessible and supple.The cane is an instrument aimed at enhancing the elegance but also the balance of the cuvée.As for the bike, connoisseurs will notice that it is an old racing bike, (equipped with its cans of course) affirming the racy side of this great vintage."

Since 2006, Marguet has been working with Hervé Jestin, the former chef de cave of Duval-Leroy who is now a consultant to many wine estates around Europe. Marguet has gradually integrated Jestin’s homeopathic and biodynamic practices into his own winemaking, and the two of them have collaborated to create a special, naturally grown champagne that encapsulates and expresses Jestin’s philosophies. The first vintage of this super-cuvée was 2006, released in 2013, and the production was divided: half of it was sold under the Jestin label, with the other half under the label Sapience, which Marguet has indicated is a separate brand from the Marguet label.
In 2010 it was very warm with high humidity just before the harvest and threatened to rain at any moment, which put enormous pressure on the ripe grapes. Nevertheless, the rain stayed out of us and healthy grapes could be brought in. Only the harvest of the Pinot Noir was less than usual at the top. Therefore, the usual composition of the cuvée has shifted slightly. Instead of 25% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier, the Meunier share rose to 33% in 2010.
Tasting note from Sebastian Bordhäuser:
Nose: The 2010 Sapience, developed by Champagne Marguet, is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Meunier and 17% Pinot Noir. As the dominant variety, the Chardonnay plays the keyboard of pome and stone fruit, which it emulsifies with the finest lemon oil. Floral notes in the overtone area after chestnut blossoms set fragrant accents that are countered by sublime spice and salty Piedmont hazelnuts beyond the fruit. Sliced, slightly oxidized red apple, mace and shortbread unite fruit and phenol in joyful harmony and let your lips expectingly lead to the cup.
Mouth: In the first taste, the sapience is carried by the ultra-fine mousseux, which as an aromatic super spreader immediately completely lines the palate with this ambrosial nectar. Energetic and punchy, it has a neat boost on the palate with simultaneous noblesse and elegance. Pronounced, he combines the fine fruit with a classy contouring tannin and a melange of citrus, yellow stone fruit and dark berry fruits and a stylistically perfectly used oxidation note. Pure finesse, carried by a profound bass, which with its immense inner density unpacks on the palate like a win-zip file. An ambrosial equilibrium of the first cabin with an epic length and kilometers of cool reverberation. Hedonists drink it immediately, long-suffering experts in a few years.

Tasting vintage 2013: A prime example of an incredibly firm and robust champagne. Biscuit and white bread notes on the nose give way to subtle fruit and herbal aromas, has depth, the fine enamel in a lively interplay with the stimulating perlage. Radiant, extremely fine character.
