Champagne Marguet

Montagne de ReimsAmbonnayNMNMNégociant ManipulantA house that makes and sells champagne from grapes it buys in, wholly or partly. Most of the famous names sit here, and the category says nothing about quality or whether the house also owns vineyards.Founded 1870

Marguet has made Champagne in Ambonnay since 1870, but its current reputation belongs to Benoît Marguet, the fifth generation, who took over in the 2000s and turned a conventional family estate into one of the most radical in the Montagne de Reims.

The house has kept its own pace through every vintage, and the cellar still works the way it always has: one press, one tank, one decision at a time.

Everything here is allowed to settle slowly. The wines rest longer than the market asks for, and the family tastes the whole range before anything leaves the cellar.

What follows is written from visits, from bottles opened too early and a few opened at exactly the right moment.
