Aroma: White peaches, grapefruit, jasmine, and dried flowers are often noted, with hints of toast and spices like cardamom and clove. Some reviews also mention nutty, yeasty, and buttery tones.
Palate: The wine is described as rich, spicy, and generous, with a compact, bone-dry palate and elegant freshness. Flavors of citrus, green apple, and melon are present, along with complex notes of toasted bread and vanilla.
Mouthfeel: A silky and fine mousse (bubbles) is noted, alongside a prominent chalky minerality. It has good depth and a long, energetic finish.
Acidity: Crisp, lively, and with high acidity, creating a refreshing taste.
Food pairings
The 2019 Marguet 'Oger' Grand Cru's dryness and high acidity make it an excellent pairing for delicate foods, as it acts as a palate cleanser.
Seafood: Freshly shucked oysters, lightly broiled fish, shellfish, and sushi are classic companions that complement the wine's crispness and minerality.
Cheeses: Soft cheeses with bloomy rinds, such as Brie and Camembert, pair well with the Champagne's effervescence and acidity.
Other options: Consider pairing it with a tinned fish board, fried chicken, or caviar.
