Champagne Marguet

What is the history of Winery Marguet?

Winery Marguet is located in the heart of the famous Montagne de Reims wine region in Champagne. Founded in 1875, this family-run Winery has stood the test of time as one of the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Champagne. Today, Winery is run by Benoît Marguet, who represents the fifth generation of winegrowers. His avant-garde approach and deep respect for nature have made Winery Marguet stand out in the Champagne landscape.

Benoît Marguet took the reins at Winery in 2005, bringing a new vision focused on environmentally-friendly viticulture. As soon as he arrived, he began converting Winery to organic and then biodynamic viticulture, marking a strong commitment to natural, sustainable viticulture. Today, Winery is certified biodynamic by Demeter and Biodyvin, two of the most rigorous labels for ecological viticulture.

Winery covers around 8 hectares, mainly in the villages of Ambonnay and Bouzy, both classified as Grand Cru. Thanks to meticulous work in the vines and low-intervention vinification, Benoît Marguet's champagnes express the purity of the terroir and the vitality of the surrounding biodiversity.
