Marguet Chouilly Grand Cru – The Elegance of the Côte des Blancs
With the Chouilly Grand Cru, Benoît Marguet dedicates himself to one of the most famous Chardonnay terroirs in Champagne. The Grand Cru village of Chouilly, located in the north of the Côte des Blancs, stands for Champagnes of extraordinary finesse, chalky minerality, and precise freshness. Marguet interprets this great terroir with his unmistakable biodynamic signature, creating a Champagne that impressively unites purity and origin.
The vineyards of Chouilly rest on massive layers of Cretaceous chalk, which optimally retain water and ensure a constant supply for the vines even in dry years. The predominantly southeastern exposures promote even ripening of the grapes, while Champagne’s cool climate preserves the characteristic tension and freshness. As a single-varietal Chardonnay, this village wine precisely expresses the salty minerality and floral elegance of the Côte des Blancs.
Like all Champagnes from Benoît Marguet, the Chouilly Grand Cru is produced according to biodynamic principles. Spontaneous fermentation, aging in wood, and the absence of dosage allow for an unadulterated expression of the terroir. In the glass, it reveals aromas of citrus fruits, white blossoms, and brioche, accompanied by a chalky texture and a long, mineral finish. A great grower Champagne for lovers of purist Blanc de Blancs from Champagne.
