FEATURES
The 2021 Benoit Marguet Ambonnay Grand Cru Champagne is a complex and provocative expression from one of Champagne's most coveted terroirs. Benoît Marguet's philosophy is radical yet deeply traditional: biodynamic farming without concessions, minimal intervention, no added sulfur, and no dosage. This approach allows the chalky soils and old vines of Ambonnay to speak for themselves. The 2021 vintage, despite a challenging growing season, has yielded promising wines. Expect a straw yellow color with a fine perlage, offering intense fruity and distinct mineral notes. On the palate, it's broad, long, and balanced, with a dry and structured character. Tasting notes reveal aromas of green apple, ripe lemon, wet chalk, toasted brioche, dried fruits, rye bread, and dried ginger. The palate delivers firm acidity, a creamy texture, notes of raspberry, pink grapefruit, and fine yeast, culminating in a mineral and saline finish. James Suckling rated a 2021 Ambonnay Grand Cru Extra Brut with an impressive 96 points, highlighting its powerful red-fruited profile with strawberries, red currants, red cherries, and a toasty almond finish. 【 A biodynamic, zero-dosage Ambonnay Grand Cru with exceptional complexity and critical acclaim 】
