Grand Cru
A tour through the Champagne region of France reveals that Champagne is not only home to the famous houses known throughout the world, but to hundreds of small to medium-sized producers of quality Champagne that truly reflects the character of their particular locale and the style of the producer. Many of these producers are known as récoltants-manipulants, which means that they harvest their own grapes and produce their own Champagne. These are truly the Champagnes of the future as their relatively small production insures more reasonable prices and continuing product quality.

Champagne Marguet Père et Fils is a classic example of this type of producer. The property has been in the family for generations and producing quality Champagne since 1905. Benoit Marguet has recently taken the reins of the property, together with his father, and is producing high quality champagnes.

The Brut Réserve is a blend of Pinot Noir (55%) and Chardonnay (45%) which is aged for 3 years on its lees to amplify the fruit and structure and add a creamy texture to the wine. This champagne can be enjoyed by itself but also shows well at the table as an accompaniment to fish, poultry and light but savory sauces.
