2012 Champagne Marguet, Sapience, 1er Cru, Brut Nature

The Sapience is a remarkable project, bringing together some of the greatest terroirs and vignerons of Champagne. It’s a blend of 50% Chardonnay from?David Leclappart in Trépail, 25% Pinot?Noir from Benoît Lahaye in Grand Cru Bouzy and 25% Meunier from Georges Laval in Cumières. Having spent 10 months in Allier oak before bottling, and nine years on the lees, this is a wine of profound energy, expression and depth. Transcending the uniform boundaries of prestige cuvées, this one of the region’s greatest wines. Disgorged September 2021. It contains zero dosage. Drink now to 2040+.
