A. Margaine
Discerning connoisseurs will know that this house, founded in the early 20th century in Villers-Marmery, south-east of the Reims mountains, produces some very fine champagnes. This area is characterized by an exclusively Chardonnay vineyard. Arnaud Margaine, accompanied by his daughter Mathilde, cultivates mainly this grape variety (90% of the vineyard) on his 6.5 ha, with the addition of a small plot of pinot noir in the village of Verzy. Over the years, the style has become sharper, as Arnaud Margaine avoids malolactic fermentation for the base wines in order to preserve freshness, but also fruit. The wines are superb, and the winemaker's spirit is remarkable.
