Champagne Marguet Rosé, Grand Cru

Benoit Marguet now only works with Grand Cru fruit for this superlative rosé. The majority of the vines are located in Cramant , Bouzy and his own village of Ambonnay. An innovative technical juxtaposition of saignée ( bleeding the juice from the red grapes) and assemblage ( addition of still red wine), pioneered by Benoit, has yielded a wine which combines structure and elegance. Made from 65% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir, the wine has an attractive salmon to onion skin colour, a delicate mousse and a palate which marries summer fruits, gentle spice, peach and hints of roasted nuts.
