A Margaine, Champagne Brut "Cuvee le Caractere M", NV
A. Margaine is a grower Champagne house in Villers-Marmery, a Premier Cru village on the Montagne de Reims known for Chardonnay. The Margaine family has grown grapes here since 1905, and Arnaud Margaine represents the fourth generation running the estate. The domaine farms 8 hectares, all in Villers-Marmery, using sustainable practices with minimal treatments. Cuvée Le Caractère M is their prestige bottling—100% Chardonnay from the oldest vines (planted 1964), fermented in a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels, aged a minimum of 4 years on the lees. Low dosage (around 6 g/L) preserves the wine's tension and minerality.
