The ‘Shaman’ is a wonderful introduction to the Champagnes of Benoit Marguet. Grapes for the cuve come from Grand Cru sites of Ambonnay and Bouzy, fermentation is in barrel, with long lees aging, yielding a wine with richness and opulence. Thanks to Benoit’s Biodynamic farming and hard work in the vineyards, there is always an interplay between the creamy mouthfeel and long mineral finish. Notes of preserved lemon and powdered ginger…delish! 87% Pinot Noir and 13% Chardonnay in this release.

Weighted average age 38 year old. Great vineyard care in biodynamic farming, herbal medicine (infusion and decoction of healing plants) and aromatherapy (essential oil).
