Marguet Shaman Grand Cru Rose 2021
CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
“A precise, well-crafted and bright brut nature rosé blend of 76% chardonnay and 24% pinot noir. On the nose wild currants meet wild strawberries, crushed stones and pink peppercorns. It’s laser-focused and lively, with gorgeous fruit mingling with fine bubbles and a dry, driven finish. Disgorged in 2024. Dosage 0g/L. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.” - JAMES SUCKLING (07/2024)
