With Les Bermonts Grand Cru, Benoît Marguet interprets the terroir of Bouzy in a fascinating way. This single vineyard is among the renowned parcels of the Montagne de Reims, producing Champagnes that combine power, finesse, and minerality in an extraordinary balance. As a terroir-driven grower Champagne, Les Bermonts is exemplary of Marguet's biodynamic philosophy and his uncompromising focus on origin and precision.
The Les Bermonts site is located in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy and is characterized by deep chalk soils with proportions of limestone and clay. This exceptional terroir optimally stores water and heat, lending the wines their characteristic tension and salinity. The cool climate of Champagne and the southern exposure of the parcels allow for perfect phenolic ripeness while maintaining impressive freshness. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically and partially worked with horses to maintain the natural vitality of the soils.
In the cellar, Benoît Marguet relies on spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, aging in wooden barrels, and minimal intervention. Bottled without dosage, Les Bermonts reveals the pure identity of its origin: aromas of citrus zest, red berries, and fine spices meet a chalky minerality and a long, vibrant finish. This Grand Cru Champagne is one of the great terroir-driven single-vineyard Champagnes of the region and delights lovers of purist, biodynamic grower Champagnes.
