Benoit Marguet Description

Though perhaps unusually for a domaine located in Ambonnay (Pinot Noir terroir), vigneron Benoît Marguet prefers a Chardonnay dominant blend for his rosés. In the 2016 edition of his non-vintage Shaman Chardonnay makes up 96% of the blend.The robe is a pale pink. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine mousse offering red fruit strawberry, cherry stone, with a pleasing bitterness on the finish. This has good length, fine mineral detail, and a nice herbal uptick on back end. Delicious now.

James Suckling: 92 Points

The intense aromas of sushi ginger pull you into this deep and dark champagne (yes, it’s the opposite of the norm for this category!). Quite a big and bold wine, the bone dryness helping to cut a fairly sleek figure. Well-integrated acidity for a Brut Nature. A cuvee of 75% pinot noir and 25% chardonnay that was disgorged in October, 2021. Drink now.
