Marguet Pere & Fils 'Sapience Oenotheque' Premier Cru Brut Nature 2013 750ml

Product Info

An extraordinary library-release Champagne from Benoît Marguet, Sapience Œnothèque 2013 represents a remarkable intersection of exceptional terroir, meticulous craftsmanship, and extended maturation. One of the most ambitious expressions in the Marguet portfolio, Sapience is a Champagne of profound complexity, elegance, and individuality.

Created through a collaboration between Benoît Marguet and renowned Champagne growers, Sapience brings together Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier from distinguished Premier Cru vineyards. The result is a Champagne that transcends individual village expression, offering a beautifully harmonious interpretation of the region's great terroirs.

The exceptional 2013 vintage, celebrated for its freshness, precision, and aging potential, provides the foundation for this remarkable wine. Extended maturation adds further layers of complexity, with an aromatic profile suggesting candied citrus, baked apple, toasted hazelnut, brioche, and delicate spice, complemented by subtle notes of honey and chalky minerality.

On the palate, Sapience Œnothèque is richly textured yet remarkably energetic. Its fine, persistent mousse carries layers of orchard fruit, citrus, toasted pastry, and savory complexity, while the Brut Nature dosage allows the wine's natural purity and mineral structure to remain beautifully transparent. The finish is exceptionally long, layered, and refined.

Benoît Marguet's commitment to biodynamic viticulture, sensitive oak élevage, and minimal-intervention winemaking is central to the character of Sapience. The Œnothèque designation signifies a special library expression, offering the opportunity to experience the additional depth and nuance that come with extended aging.

Sapience Œnothèque 2013 is a Champagne of contemplation — mature, complex, and beautifully poised, yet retaining the freshness and vitality that distinguish the finest examples of the vintage.

A magnificent Champagne for collectors and connoisseurs, it is particularly well suited to refined gastronomy, including lobster, roasted turbot, aged Comté, truffle preparations, and delicate poultry dishes.

Rare, sophisticated, and deeply expressive, this is an exceptional opportunity to discover one of Benoît Marguet's most compelling Champagnes in a beautifully mature library release.
