A. Margaine Champagnes


A. Margaine Champagne Demi-Sec
On Sale $49.99
"This is an utterly sensual wine that flows with the essence of perfumed white peaches, flowers, mint, pears and spices. So many Demi-Secs are forgettable, but not this one. Margaine has crafted a wine of extraordinary personality and elegance."
-Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate

1999 A. Margaine Champagne Blanc de Blancs Special Club Brut
On Sale $75.99
"Light yellow. Very expressive, open bouquet evokes orange, poached pear and lemon pith. Fleshy, impressively polished citrus and orchard fruit flavors offer depth as well as cut, finishing with a pleasingly bitter anise quality. Became more vibrant with air, suggesting that this will repay cellaring.
-Rated 91+/100 Steve Tanzer, The International Wine Cellar

"I was blown away by Arnaud Margaine's wines. These are Champagnes of extraordinary purity and sheer elegance. Margaine farms 6.5 hectares, 90% planted to Chardonnay, the rest Pinot Noir." -The Wine Advocate
