Sourced entirely from old-vine Pinot Noir in the Grand Cru village of Verzenay, it combines purity, energy, and a striking sense of place with a highly artisanal, minimal-intervention philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Champagne typically shows a pale golden hue with fine, persistent mousse. The nose is layered and nuanced, with aromas of ripe red apple, citrus peel, wild strawberry, chalk, toasted nuts, and subtle brioche notes, all wrapped in a distinctly mineral, saline edge.\n\nOn the palate, it is dry and focused, with Pinot Noir giving the wine breadth, structure, and a refined red-fruited core. The texture is vivid and chalky, balanced by lively acidity and a long, crystalline finish. As a Brut Nature with extended lees aging, it has excellent aging potential and should gain complexity over time, developing more depth, savory nuances, and a finer textural polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine comes from small parcels in Verzenay, one of Champagne’s Grand Cru villages, where old vines benefit from the area’s cool climate and chalk-rich soils. The fruit is hand harvested and carefully sorted, then vinified with native yeasts in used barrels and a larger egg-shaped foudre from Taransaud. Malolactic fermentation is allowed to occur naturally, but may be omitted if it does not happen in certain barrels. The wine rests on lees until the following summer, is bottled for secondary fermentation, and then spends more than 40 months aging on the lees before disgorgement, with no dosage added.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal with oysters, sashimi, shellfish, roast poultry, or dishes featuring mushrooms and fine herbs, this Champagne also works beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short opening in the glass can help the wine reveal its full aromatic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampagne Marguet, led by Benoît Marguet, has become one of the most distinctive names in modern Champagne for its biodynamic, terroir-focused wines. Based in Ambonnay, the estate is respected for treating Champagne with the same parcel-by-parcel precision more commonly associated with Burgundy, highlighting individual villages and single sites. Marguet is widely admired for combining technical rigor with a deeply intuitive, almost spiritual approach, and for producing wines that have earned a strong following among Champagne lovers seeking purity and character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Marguet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122470232306,"sku":"FW-7701","price":111.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/verzenay_nv.png?v=1777476190","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/champagne-marguet-verzenay-grand-cru-2017","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
