In 2005, Benoît Marguet founded his own champagne house. Actually, he had wanted to start with 15 hectares from the family estate, but his father refused to give him a share because he did not agree with his son's biodynamic approaches. Today, Benoît Marguet owns vineyards in Ambonnay and Bouzy as well as a few plots in Avize and Cramant. Over time, he has acquired two horses with which he works the vineyards. He sells the fruit from two of his ten hectares to Champagne Krug. In the cellar, the base wines ferment spontaneously in wood, where they are also aged. Instead of concrete eggs, he uses wooden eggs in which the must can also circulate during fermentation. The wines always undergo malolactic fermentation and are hardly ever sulphurised. There is also no dosage in Marguet's wines.
