FEATURES
The Champagne Marguet Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Rouge 2022 is a remarkable still red wine, a pure expression of Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay. The grapes are meticulously cultivated from the Les Tourés and Le Terme Bazin plots, situated on chalky soils that have been worked with horses since 2010, adhering to Demeter biodynamic agriculture principles. The winemaking process is equally thoughtful, involving no crushing, 60% whole bunches, and 19 months of ageing in barriques. This wine is bottled without any added sulphites, reflecting Benoît Marguet's fervent advocacy for biodynamics and a sensitive approach to winemaking. 【This is a limited edition still red Pinot Noir from Grand Cru Ambonnay, cultivated biodynamically with horses, and produced with no added sulphites.】
In the glass, it presents a bright ruby red colour, often with elegant purple highlights in its youth. The nose is deep and multifaceted, revealing clear aromas of small red fruits such as cherry and wild strawberry, intertwined with floral notes of rose and violet, black pepper, tobacco, and a distinct sensation of damp earth and undergrowth. On the palate, it is fine and delicate, light to medium-bodied, with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a clean, mineral, and saline finish. The sip is measured and smooth, characterised by an extremely harmonious texture that encapsulates the soul of the region.
🍴 This elegant red wine is an exceptional companion to fine fish, crustaceans, or aged hard cheeses. Its red fruit and earthy notes also make it a superb pairing for roasted poultry, delicate mushroom dishes, or a selection of charcuterie.
🥂 A unique and thoughtful choice for a dinner with friends, a special occasion for discerning wine connoisseurs, or an intimate gathering where a delicate yet expressive red wine is desired.
