93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Benoît Marguet is an absolute master of Rosé and his Shaman 18 bottling is another stellar example. This year the wine’s cépages is sixty-eight percent chardonnay and thirty-two percent pinot noir and the vins clairs were all raised in older barrels and given ten months elevage prior to their bottling up for a secondary fermentation in July of 2019. As is customary these days at Champagne Marguet, the wine is non-dosé, and was disgorged in May of 2021. It offers up a complex and utterly refined nose of strawberries, cherries, blood orange, a lovely touch of cinnamon, chalky soil tones and a discreet touch of oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a lovely girdle of acidity, excellent balance and lift, very refined mousse and a long, sophisticated finish. Great juice. 2021-2050. (Sep/Oct 2021)"
