The Memory Collection is a testament to the best vintages of Maison Alfred Gratien, which has been stored for more than 20 years in the Alfred Gratien oenotheque, in the heart of the cellars. 1998 is a year when abundance and quality miraculously came together.
Alfred Gratien is a prestigious Champagne house founded in 1864 in Épernay, at the heart of the Champagne region in France. Since its inception, the house has maintained a steadfast commitment to traditional and artisanal winemaking methods, setting it apart in the world of Champagne. Alfred Gratien, the son of a cooper, established the house in 1864. He implemented winemaking principles that are still upheld today, including respect for the terroir, rigorous grape selection, and the art of blending.
Shaman is the emblematic Cuvée of Champagne Marguet made mostly with Pinot Noir from the House's favorite terroir: Ambonnay.
22 indicates the year of the majority harvest (2022) in the blend, supplemented by the House's reserve wines to maintain the style year after year.
Shaman 22 is a Brut Nature Champagne, certified organic and biodynamic.
David Léclapart's Cuvée l'Apôtre is defined as: "a person who propagates, defends a doctrine, an opinion". It is a 100% Chardonnay Champagne vinified in barrels from a single plot, grafted and planted in 1946.
De Venoge Grand Vin des Princes 1973 is a Champagne created initially for the Princes of Orange and then marketed more generally from 1858. The bottle is a replica of a 19th century Champagne carafe.
Nicolas Maillart Rosé Grand Cru is a very technical cuvée that begins in the vineyard with the selection of plots of old Pinot Noir from the best terroirs of Bouzy. The estate uses the "saignee" method, i.e. the Pinot Noir grapes will macerate for a few hours to obtain the rosé color. Then, the Chardonnay is blended with the Pinot Noir to give freshness to this Cuvée.
Jm Sélèque Solessence is the distinctive cuvée from the 7 terroirs of the House: Pierry, Moussy, Epernay, Mardeuil, Dizy, Boursault and Vertus. A wine to discover and share with friends. The expression of pure and easy-to-digest style, in all circumstances.
The Memory Collection is a testament to the best vintages of Maison Alfred Gratien, which has been stored for more than 20 years in the Alfred Gratien oenotheque, in the heart of the cellars. The predominance of Chardonnay gives the 1997 vintage elegance and finesse, as well as a particular aptitude for aging.
