Marguet Père & Fils 'Sapience' Premier Cru Extra-Brut 2018

94 Points — Anne Krebiehl MW

One of the most compelling prestige cuvées in grower Champagne, Sapience represents Benoît Marguet's uncompromising pursuit of purity, terroir and biodynamic viticulture. Created from organically cultivated vineyards in Ambonnay, Cumières and Hautvillers, this exceptional Champagne brings together the expertise of Marguet and fellow grower Champagne luminary Georges Laval.

The 2018 vintage is a blend of 52% Pinot Noir and 48% Pinot Meunier, fermented in oak and aged for approximately six and a half years on its lees before disgorgement. Produced without dosage, it delivers remarkable depth and precision, combining richness and complexity with a distinctly mineral, energetic character.

Anne Krebiehl MW awarded the 2018 94 points, highlighting its expressive plum fruit, sourdough rye, delicate cherry notes and beautifully integrated mousse. Richly textured yet wonderfully poised, the wine offers exceptional complexity and a long, savory finish.

A Champagne of genuine distinction, Sapience is a compelling expression of the extraordinary heights being reached by Champagne's finest artisanal producers. Equally rewarding for serious collectors and adventurous Champagne enthusiasts.
