Crafted with a low-intervention approach and minimal dosage, it offers a pure, expressive style that reflects both the village’s exceptional chalky soils and Champagne Marguet’s commitment to precision and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a bright, refined mousse and a fresh, lifted profile. The nose is intense and layered, combining ripe orchard fruit with crisp apple, a hint of bitter grapefruit, and candied citrus, all underscored by subtle autolytic depth from extended lees ageing.\n\nThe palate is bone-dry, focused, and quite direct, with a vivid mineral edge that speaks clearly of Ambonnay’s quality terroir. Despite its firmness, it carries enough fruit depth to keep the wine balanced and compelling, and it should continue to develop complexity over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLes Bermonts is made from Grand Cru parcels north of Ambonnay, with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown under low-intervention viticulture. Fermentation takes place in used Bordeaux barrels and Taransaud egg-shaped foudres, using native yeasts, while malolactic fermentation is encouraged but only allowed to proceed naturally if it occurs in each vessel. The wine rests on its lees until July following harvest, is blended and bottled with organic sugar and a little yeast for secondary fermentation, then aged for at least 42 months before disgorgement, with little to no dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne pairs beautifully with shellfish, oysters, sashimi, seafood tartare, roast poultry, or fine-pastry dishes with a touch of citrus. Serve chilled at around 8-10°C, and there is usually no need to decant, though a short aeration in the glass can help open its aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampagne Marguet is a respected grower-producer based in Ambonnay, known for championing organic and biodynamic practices and for making wines with a distinctly natural, site-specific character.
