Champagne Marguet - Shaman 22 - Grand Cru
Champagne Marguet is located in Ambonnay, in the Montagne de Reims in Champagne . The estate is managed by Benoît Marguet . The Ambonnay vineyard covers 7.30 hectares in the localities Les Saints Remys, Les Beurys, Les Crayères, La Grande Ruelle, Les Bermonts and Le Parc. He also owns 0.70 hectares in the Grand Cru Bouzy. The vines are farmed using biodynamic farming methods with phytotherapy (infusion and decoction of medicinal plants) and aromatherapy (essential oil). The soil has been plowed with draft horses since 2010. The well-being of the soil is a priority for the grower-manipulator, and it is said that the horse is linked to 3 elements of the terroir: mineral (chalk), plant (vine and flora) and animal (fauna, human). In the cellar, fermentation is carried out by locality (plots) in wooden vats and barrels. The aging on lees is long and the use of sulfur is minimal at bottling.
Shaman 22 is a blend of Pinot Noir (84%) and Chardonnay (16%) from Grand Cru plots. The bottling took place in July 2023 and the wine was disgorged in May 2025. It is a Brut Nature , with no dosage.
Grape varieties: 84% Pinot Noir, 16% Chardonnay
"Shaman 22 embodies the controlled power of Pinot Noir on the great terroirs of Ambonnay and Bouzy. The nose reveals aromas of small red fruits, citrus zest and wet chalk."
