Description
What type of wine it is
Sapience by Marguet is a refined organic Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs Champagne, born from the union of Pinot Noir and Meunier grapes. In the glass, it presents a straw yellow colour with a fine and persistent perlage, revealing fruity aromas combined with hints of yeast and bread crust. On the palate, it expresses a dry, structured, and deep Brut Nature Pas Dosé profile which, thanks to the Traditional Method production, offers excellent persistence, perfect for accompanying shellfish, sushi, and matured cheeses.
Where it comes from
The roots of this wine lie in the municipalities of Ambonnay, Bouzy, Cumières, and Hautvillers, famous for their historic Premier Cru parcels. In this prestigious area of Champagne, the terroir ensures the optimal development of black-skinned grapes. The estate operates according to the rigorous principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. This meticulous work in the vineyard preserves the delicate natural balance, delivering the pure essence and vibrant energy of the territorial characteristics into the glass.
How it is produced
The production is based on the strict timings of the Traditional Method. Following the harvest, the vinification carefully preserves the varietal vitality of the fruit. The wine then undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and a fundamental ageing on the lees for over six years. This long period enhances the aromatic profile and refines the tactile texture of the cuvée. The absence of added sugars at the time of disgorgement defines its zero dosage character, offering a snappy, pure, and crystalline sip. The entire artisanal process aims for a faithful and authentic transposition of the original terroir.
History and curiosities

This Blanc de Noirs is presented as the house's first exceptional Champagne certified from organically grown grapes. It represents a contemporary and timeless creation that celebrates the alchemy between nature and people, inviting an awakening of consciousness.

The domaine tends old vines with an average age of around 40 years, spread across two of the most renowned terroirs of the Montagne de Reims:
8 total estate-owned hectares:
7.30 hectares in Ambonnay, distributed among the renowned crus Les Saints Remys, Les Beurys, Les Crayères, La Grande Ruelle, Les Bermonts, and Le Parc
0.70 hectares in Bouzy, divided between the Les Loges and Les Hannepés parcels
In the vineyard, every practice adheres to certified Organic and Demeter ecological and holistic principles.
Since 2010, soil tilling has been carried out exclusively with horses to avoid tractor-induced soil compaction, protect wild flora, preserve biodiversity, and connect directly with the chalk subsoil.
Vine care and defense rely on herbal macerations, infusions, and decoctions, complemented by the targeted use of essential oils, completely excluding synthetic chemicals.
In the cellar, vinification follows the natural energy of the raw fruit without invasive intervention, utilizing gentle, natural methods:
Gravity-fed transfers: Musts and base wines are moved by natural fall to minimize mechanical stress.
Aging and naturopathic approach: Significant emphasis is placed on extended lees aging and on the wine's energetic balance.
Expressive purity: The primary objective is to enhance the chalky minerality and authentic identity of each individual parcel and vintage—a principle epitomized by the Sapience range, the famed prestige cuvée crafted from certified organic grapes.
