Description:
Champagne Margaine Brut NV, with its base from the 2016 vintage and disgorged in June 2020, offers a delightful balance of freshness and subtle maturity, making it a standout choice for those seeking refined Villers-Marmery expressions revealing vibrant citrus and orchard fruit aromas, a creamy palate with fine bubbles, and a lingering finish that highlights its elegant structure.
Le Brut greets you with notes of fresh lemon zest and green apple, intertwined with hints of toasted brioche and a touch of floral honeysuckle, reflecting the Chardonnay dominance from the Villers-Marmery terroir. The base 2016 vintage adds a layer of subtle complexity, with delicate nutty undertones emerging as the wine breathes.
On the palate, this brut Champagne delivers a lively mousse that evolves into a creamy texture, showcasing flavours of ripe pear, white peach, and a whisper of almond, all supported by a crisp acidity that ensures excellent balance. The disgorgement in June 2020 has preserved its vibrancy while allowing just enough time for integration, resulting in a harmonious mouthfeel that avoids heaviness.
The finish lingers with elegance, leaving impressions of mineral-driven chalkiness and a faint citrus echo, underscoring the precision and purity typical of Margaine's craftsmanship in Champagne. This NV Le Brut stands as a testament to the finesse of Villers-Marmery wines, offering versatility for both casual enjoyment and special occasions without overpowering the senses.
