Benoît Marguet, a fifth-generation grower in Ambonnay, is at the helm of Champagne Marguet, renowned for his biodynamic farming practices and extreme winemaking philosophy. He utilizes old barrels, allows natural malolactic fermentation, and employs virtually no sulfur or dosage. The Shaman cuvée is a non-vintage, multi-terroir blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, often based on a specific vintage (e.g., 2022, 2021) but released as NV. The 2023 vintage indicated here likely refers to a base year or release year for this NV blend. Marguet even considers his horse an integral part of his terroir. 【Biodynamic, zero-dosage Champagne with a strong terroir expression and minimal intervention winemaking】. This Champagne offers a tasting profile of citrus, white peach, and chalky minerality, with a fine mousse, bright acidity, and a bone-dry, precise, fresh, and long saline finish. Other notes include ripe green fruit, yellow apples, red berries, blood orange, brioche, and an oxidative character with bruised apple and hazelnut. Food pairing suggestions: An excellent match for raw shellfish, seared scallops, or aged Comté cheese. It also pairs beautifully with pork, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and mild, soft cheeses. Alternatively, it's a superb apéritif that needs no accompaniment. Event suggestions: Ideal for celebrations, sophisticated aperitifs, fine dining experiences, or any special occasion where a truly expressive Champagne is desired.
