Grapes: Pinot Noir 75%, Chardonnay 25%

The Champagne House of Marguet is located in Grand Cru village of Ambonnay in the heart of Montagne de Reims. The family property was founded in 1870 by two Bonnerave brothers and previously traded under the Bonnerave Frères label. The charming 5th generation Benoît Marguet-Bonnerave is now at the helm of Marguet who has radical changed the direct of the family business, converting to biodynamic viticulture in 2009.

Over the past few years Benoit has been refining his wines and work in both vineyard and winery, and the quality and expression in his wines is remarkable. With his sensitivities and skill in the vineyards he sells his Pinot Noir grapes for Krug from his Grand Cru home town vines of Ambonnay, but keeps the best fruit for his own. All his fermentations take place in barrel, or concrete egg and he keeps the vin clair for at least 9 months before blending allowing the wine to gain complexity and richness, before secondary fermentation in bottle.
