The Shaman series is Benoît’s NV line-up of wines, roughly consisting of 2/3’s Pinot Noir and 1/3rd Chardonnay, depending on the year, and is entirely from Grand Cru parcels. These cuvée’s were originally labeled Elements, but due to some trademarking issues with the California label Artesa, Marguet was forced to relabel the wines. The number next to “Shaman” on the label dictates the base vintage of each release. 67% Pinot Noir | 33% Chardonnay
The wine has a straw yellow color with a marked brilliance. The nose appears noble, elegant, with good intensity and complexity. Light citrus aromas blend with hints of candied fruit. On the palate the wine is expressed through great acidity. The sugar dosage, 2.4 gr / l, helps to keep the palate dry, dry and giving great cleanliness and persistence.
