Champagne Marguet Yuman Champagne Premier Cru 2022

Champagne Marguet Yuman Premier Cru 2022 is one of the house’s most immediate and approachable cuvées, yet it still carries the depth, energy, and precision that define Benoît Marguet’s biodynamic style. Made from roughly equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Premier Cru sites around Ambonnay, it reflects a pure, terroir-driven expression of Champagne with very low dosage and minimal sulfur.

Tasting Notes
Yuman 2022 opens with striking aromatic clarity: citrus zest, red apple, fresh herbs, and delicate floral notes of lime blossom and chamomile. Beneath that brightness sits a fine chalky mineral edge and a subtle toasted nuance from fermentation in used barrels. On the palate, the mousse is finely woven and silken, giving the wine a graceful texture while the cool 2022 character brings tension and freshness. The finish is dry, precise, and mouthwatering, with notes of grapefruit, chalk, and a gentle, almost savory bitterness. It is enjoyable now for its vitality and balance, but should also develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
The fruit comes from Premier Cru vineyards in Ambonnay and nearby villages, where biodynamic farming is central to the work in the vineyard. The low-yielding 2022 vintage helped concentrate the wine’s structure and freshness, while harvesting was carried out with careful attention to quality and ripeness. Vinification is carried out spontaneously in used barriques, without industrial additives, followed by a second fermentation with very low or no dosage and minimal sulfur use. The result is a Champagne that speaks clearly of its terroir, with an unforced, natural sense of energy and precision.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile Champagne for refined but simple dishes such as oysters, sashimi, sea bass, roast chicken, or light poultry terrines. It also works beautifully with aged Comté, fresh goat cheese, or vegetable dishes featuring herbs and citrus. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary.
