Champagne Marguet Verzenay Grand Cru 2017

Champagne Marguet Verzenay Grand Cru 2017 is a pure, terroir-driven Brut Nature made exclusively from old-vine Pinot Noir in Verzenay, one of Champagne’s most revered Grand Cru villages. Crafted with a Burgundian sense of parcel-by-parcel identity, it reflects Benoît Marguet’s singular approach, where precision, nature, and intuition are brought together in a remarkably expressive style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a fine, energetic mousse and a deep, structured pale gold tone. The nose is vivid and layered, with red berry fruit, citrus peel, orchard fruit, and chalky, smoky notes, unfolding into hints of brioche, spice, and subtle oxidative complexity from time on lees and careful élevage. On the palate, this is a dry, focused Champagne with impressive drive and texture, shaped by Pinot Noir’s depth and Verzenay’s cool, mineral character. Expect tension, purity, and a long saline finish, with the wine likely to age beautifully over the coming years as its layers continue to broaden and integrate.

Production
The fruit comes from small parcels of older and mature vines in Verzenay, harvested by hand and carefully sorted before fermentation. Vinification is carried out with indigenous yeasts in a mix of used barrels and a larger Taransaud egg-shaped foudre, with malolactic fermentation allowed to occur naturally where it does, and otherwise left out. The wine is aged sur lie until the following July, then bottled for secondary fermentation and lees aging for more than 40 months before disgorgement, with no dosage added.

Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, lobster, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses, where its structure and salinity can shine. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and consider a brief decant only if you want to soften its reductive edge and open up the aromas, though it is equally compelling straight from the bottle.

Producer
Champagne Marguet, led by Benoît Marguet, has become one of the most distinctive names in Champagne through its biodynamic, terroir-focused philosophy and parcel-by-parcel bottlings. Based in Ambonnay and working across some of the region’s finest Grand Cru sites, the domaine has earned a strong reputation for producing wines of extraordinary energy, purity, and individuality.
