Marguet Pere & Fils 'Les Crayeres' Ambonnay Grand Cru 2021 750ml

Product Info

An exceptional single-vineyard Champagne from one of Ambonnay’s most compelling growers, Benoît Marguet. Les Crayères is a remarkable expression of this celebrated Grand Cru terroir, combining the depth and power of Ambonnay with extraordinary precision, elegance, and mineral tension.

Produced from the prestigious Les Crayères vineyard, where deeply rooted vines draw character from the village’s distinctive chalk-rich soils, this 2021 Champagne offers a beautifully layered expression of its origins. The bouquet reveals delicate notes of citrus zest, white flowers, orchard fruit, and subtle brioche, complemented by a pronounced chalky minerality. On the palate, it is finely textured and energetic, with remarkable purity, a graceful mousse, and a long, saline finish.

Benoît Marguet farms biodynamically, embracing a philosophy of minimal intervention that allows the vineyard and vintage to speak with exceptional clarity. His meticulous approach, including fermentation and élevage in oak, produces Champagnes of remarkable individuality and character.

Les Crayères is a Champagne for those who appreciate the intersection of richness and finesse. Profoundly expressive yet beautifully restrained, it is equally suited to contemplative drinking or pairing with refined cuisine, particularly oysters, scallops, turbot, and other delicate seafood.

A rare, terroir-driven Grand Cru Champagne that beautifully illustrates why Benoît Marguet has become one of the most exciting names in contemporary Champagne.
