Description
What kind of wine it is
Les Bermonts Grand Cru Brut Nature by Marguet is a Blanc de Blancs that masterfully expresses the elegance of Chardonnay. This Grand Cru Champagne, crafted according to the Traditional Method, stands out for its fine perlage and a floral bouquet enriched with pastry notes. The zero dosage enhances a vibrant freshness and a pronounced mineral texture, making it the ideal pairing for shellfish, sushi, and rich fried fish dishes.
Where it comes from
The identity of this wine is born in Champagne, in the Grand Cru lieu-dit Les Bermonts. The single plot of just 0.47 hectares is situated at 110 metres altitude, with a north-west exposure. The marked minerality derives from soils composed of beige clay and limestone, resting on a deep layer of Santonian white chalk. The fruit's notable concentration is ensured by the historic vines planted in 1952.
How it is produced
Vinification follows the Traditional Method, with natural secondary fermentation in the bottle and no addition of dosage syrup. This Brut Nature with zero residual sugar preserves the vertical expression of its cru of origin, offering a sip of absolute clarity. The unique character of the plot is further enhanced by a limited production of only 1,792 bottles, which highlights the purity of the fruit and the authenticity of the terroir.

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.
