Benoit Marguet - Shaman Grand Cru 22

Benoît Marguet's Shaman Grand Cru blends grapes from the Grand Cru villages of Ambonnay and Bouzy and serves as an authentic introduction to the signature style of this exceptional winemaker. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grow on deep chalky soils, producing a Champagne that impressively combines origin, precision, and drinkability. Like all of Benoît Marguet's wines, the Shaman Grand Cru is produced according to strictly biodynamic principles. Spontaneous fermentation in used barriques, the absence of fining and filtration, and a minimal dosage ensure an unadulterated expression of the terroir. The nose reveals citrus fruits, white peach, apple, hazelnut, and fine brioche, accompanied by characteristic chalky minerality. On the palate, the Champagne is precise, linear, and salty, with a fine perlage, lively freshness, and a long finish. The Shaman Grand Cru is a characterful grower Champagne with depth and elegance – ideal as an aperitif, but equally compelling as a versatile food pairing. A Grand Cru Champagne that impressively reflects the philosophy of Benoît Marguet.
