Description
Benoît Marguet, heir to five generations of winemakers in the Montagne de Reims, decided to break with the status quo. He did not simply want to make Champagne, but to give a voice to the terroir without filters or artifice. His biodynamic philosophy goes beyond marketing: it translates into an almost spiritual connection with the land, where his horses Belle and Urban work the vineyard without compacting the soil and the lunar calendar guides every decision. Marguet Yuman Premier Cru was born of that radical vision, as a tribute to the natural balance, the humility of the soil and the mineral pulse of Ambonnay and Bouzy. It is composed exclusively of Chardonnay, grown in Premier Cru on deep chalk soils and exposed to the coolness of the continental climate. The result is a Champagne that seeks to impress not by volume, but by purity, tension and precision. Marguet not only chose to go his own way, he also renounced the systematic use of sulphur, fining agents or added yeasts, defying the system with admirable serenity.
Winemaking
The grapes for Marguet Yuman Premier Cru are gently pressed in a vertical press, with the must descending by gravity. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in used barrels, without chemical corrections, respecting the pure expression of the Chardonnay. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally. The wine remains on its lees in barrels until bottling, without filtration or clarification. The second fermentation in the bottle is carried out with little or no shipping liquor, which reinforces its dry and linear Brut Nature character. Ageing on the lees lasts 48 months to achieve a fine, discreet, perfectly integrated bubble. Everything in its production responds to one principle: to let the wine be a mirror of the place.
Taste
Marguet Yuman Premier Cru offers a precise, mineral nose, with notes of candied lemon, grapefruit, wet chalk and raw almond. On swirling, faint floral nuances emerge (jasmine, orange blossom ) and a spicy hint: fresh ginger, nutmeg. On the palate, the attack is vibrant, with a direct acidity that cleanses the palate, supported by a creamy texture without excess. Notes of white pear, green apple and a slight saline note mark the mid-palate. The finish is long, pure, with an aftertaste of citrus zest and wet stone. This is a Champagne for those who value elegance without make-up, restrained energy and the truth of the soil.
