Champagne Marguet: A Vanguard of Biodynamic Excellence in Ambonnay
Nestled in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay, Champagne Marguet is a visionary estate that has redefined traditional Champagne production through its unwavering commitment to biodynamic viticulture and terroir-driven craftsmanship. Founded in 1905 and revitalized by fifth-generation winemaker Benoît Marguet in 2005, the domaine combines centuries-old heritage with radical innovation, producing wines of profound depth, purity, and energy.

Philosophy and Viticulture
Benoît Marguet’s philosophy centers on harmony with nature. In 2009, he converted the estate’s 8 hectares (supplemented by select organic/biodynamic fruit from esteemed growers) to biodynamic practices, earning Demeter certification. His methods are meticulous: vineyards are plowed by horses to preserve soil vitality, and treatments are crafted from homeopathic and phytotherapeutic preparations derived from estate-grown herbs. The old vines, many over 40 years old, thrive on Ambonnay’s limestone-chalk soils, layered with clay and tufa, imparting distinct minerality and structure to the wines.

Winemaking: Precision and Purity
Marguet’s winemaking is marked by minimal intervention. Fermentations rely on native yeasts, and aging occurs in neutral oak barrels, fostering complexity without oak dominance28. Dosage is eschewed entirely, allowing the wines to express their terroir with unadulterated clarity68. Extended lees aging up to 42 months for village wines and a staggering 144 months for the Sapience Oenotheque lends texture and depth.

Signature Cuvées
Shaman Grand Cru: A blend of Pinot Noir (69%) and Chardonnay (31%) from Ambonnay and Bouzy, offering vibrant citrus, red berries, and saline freshness.
Les Crayères: A single-parcel Chardonnay from vines bordering Krug’s Clos d’Ambonnay, celebrated for its searing chalkiness and citrus intensity.
Sapience: A collaborative masterpiece with biodynamic fruit from growers like Benoît Lahaye and David Leclapart. Aged 9–12 years on lees, it balances oxidative depth with crystalline acidity, earning acclaim as a rival to prestige cuvées like Krug.
Ambonnay Rosé: A blend of Chardonnay (82%) and Pinot Noir (18%), praised for its precision, tension, and layered stone fruit.

Benoît’s work extends beyond his estate; he consults for Krug, farming their Ambonnay Pinot Noir. His wines, though radical in their natural approach, are lauded for their balance and expressiveness, bridging Burgundian finesse with Champagne’s effervescent vitality.

For connoisseurs seeking Champagnes of authenticity and innovation, Marguet’s creations, marked by their zero-dosage precision, biodynamic rigor, and Grand Cru pedigree, offer a luminous narrative of Ambonnay’s terroir, crafted by a visionary unafraid to challenge convention.

Champagne Marguet：Ambonnay 的生物動力法革命者

位於香檳區 Grand Cru 村莊 Ambonnay，Champagne Marguet 是座融合百年傳承與革新魄力的先鋒酒莊。自 1905 年創立，第五代莊主 Benoît Marguet 於 2005 年啟動變革，以生物動力法與零補糖工藝，重新定義特級村風土的極致表達。

Benoît Marguet 的釀酒哲學奠基於與自然共生。2009 年，他將酒莊 8 公頃葡萄園轉型為 Demeter 認證生物動力法，並精選其他特級村有機果實。園中逾 40 年老藤扎根於 Ambonnay 的石灰岩-白堊土層，混雜黏土與凝灰岩，賦予酒液獨特礦物骨架。馬匹犁田、自製草藥製劑等農法，維繫土壤生命力，讓每株葡萄藤成為風土的活體錄音機。

釀造工藝：
自然發酵：僅用原生酵母，中性橡木桶陳年培養複雜度，拒絕木桶喧賓奪主
零補糖（Zero Dosage）：全系列無補糖，讓風土以最赤裸的姿態發聲
超長酒渣接觸：村莊級酒款酒渣陳釀 42 個月，旗艦款 Sapience Oenotheque 更達 144 個月（12 年），質地如絲綢裹覆礦晶

標誌性酒款：
Shaman Grand Cru：混釀 Ambonnay 與 Bouzy 的 Pinot Noir（69%）與 Chardonnay（31%），血橙、紅醋栗與海鹽礦感交織，酸度如阿爾卑斯融雪
Les Crayères：毗鄰 Krug 葡萄園 Clos d'Ambonnay 的單一地塊 Chardonnay，白堊岩的凜冽銳度，檸檬皮與燧石氣息迸發
Sapience：聯手 Benoît Lahaye 等生物動力法名家的跨產區巨作，酒渣陳釀 9-12 年，氧化層次與晶透酸度平衡，被譽為「Krug 的自然酒版本」
Ambonnay Rosé：Chardonnay（82%）與 Pinot Noir（18%）混釀，蜜桃、粉紅葡萄柚與白堊礦感的精準對位

Benoît Marguet 同時擔任 Krug 酒莊顧問，管理其 Ambonnay 的 Pinot Noir 園。他的作品雖以激進自然派著稱，卻完美融合布根地的優雅與香檳的氣泡活力，被《Wine Advocate》讚為「生物動力香檳的教科書」。

對追求零添加純粹與特級村風土的鑑賞家而言，Champagne Marguet 是場顛覆性的味覺革命，每瓶酒皆以 Demeter 認證的嚴苛、Ambonnay 石灰岩的冷冽，與 Benoît 的叛逆靈魂共同譜寫，邀您傾聽香檳區最純粹的地質詩篇。

（註：Demeter 為全球最高標準生物動力法認證；Grand Cru 指香檳區特級村莊，僅 17 村獲此殊榮）
