Champagne AOC Grand Cru Rosé Brut Nature Shaman 20 Marguet

The Grand Cru “Shaman” Rosé Extra Brut from the Marguet winery is a Champagne of extreme elegance and complexity, produced in Ambonnay, in the Montagne de Reims district in the Champagne-Ardenne region, in France. It is mainly obtained from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the Grand Cru vineyards of Ambonnay and Bouzy. The vines, with an average age of approximately 42 years, are trained in espalier with the simple and double Guyot method on hilly terrain characterized by calcareous soils rich in chalky gravel. The winery, which owns approximately 8 hectares of vineyards, was founded in 2008 by Benoît Marguet, who wanted to create an independent company, attracting the attention of enthusiasts for its unconventional style and the biodynamic approach adopted in the vineyard and cellar.

The Extra Brut Rosé Grand Cru “Shaman” is produced with selected grapes and harvested by hand when they reach the perfect balance between sugars and acidity. The bunches are taken to the cellar and subjected to direct pressing for the Chardonnay, while the Pinot Noir undergoes a light maceration on the skins to extract the color. After alcoholic fermentation in Bordeaux barriques and oak vats with indigenous yeasts, refermentation takes place in the bottle on its own yeasts for at least 24 months.

The “Shaman” Extra Brut Rosé Grand Cru Champagne has a bright onion skin pink color and a fine and persistent perlage. Intense aromas of yellow fruit, citrus, peach, pomegranate, watermelon emerge on the nose, as well as floral notes of red flowers, spicy hints and mineral nuances. On the palate it is enveloping, fresh, complex and very expressive, fine and creamy.

Perfect to enjoy alone or combined with refined fish and seafood dishes, fresh cheeses and light appetizers.
