Marguet Pere & Fils - Extra Brut Sapience Oenotheque 2009

A View from the Cellar: 96 Points

I was unaware that Benoît Marguet was holding back some bottles of Sapience for longer elevage on the fine lees, but that is exactly what this Oenothèque release of the 2009 is, as the wine was disgorged in April of 2022 after nearly twelve years aging sur latte. I had not tasted this wine since the spring of 2019 and was delighted to remake acquaintances with it, as it is starting to really drink splendidly today. The wine’s aromatic constellation is a classy blend of passion fruit, apple, white peach, fresh-baked bread, orange zest, a gorgeous base of soil tones, very subtle oak shadings, a touch of caraway seed and a topnote of gentle smokiness. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and wide open in personality, with superb depth at the core, fine mineral undertow, pinpoint bubbles and exquisite balance on the long, complex and vibrant finish. This is a stunning wine.
