Marteaux Guillaume: L'Indigène Extra Brut

Marteaux Guillaume: L'Indigène Extra Brut

The Cuvée

Marteaux Guillaume | Brut Nature

Friday evening, no big plans, but felt like having something special, so I opened the L'Indigène Extra Brut from Marteaux Guillaume. Just because champagne is sometimes exactly what you need to wind down the week in a relaxed way.

Why this champagne is special:

  • 100% Pinot Meunier: Powerful and elegant, with a great balance.
  • Wild fermentation: No added yeasts, just pure naturalness in the glass.
  • Brut Nature: Zero dosage, 100% character.
  • Aging: A full 6 years on the lees, which gives it this creamy texture and depth.

What I tasted: Ripe fruits, a hint of almonds and, I think I detected, something spicy like clove.

Sometimes you don't need a big idea behind a champagne evening. Just enjoy, celebrate the moment and appreciate how much craftsmanship and passion goes into such a bottle.

Do you also drink champagne just "without occasion"?

My Tastings

Tasting #01
Marteaux Guillaume: L'Indigène Extra Brut

A champagne full of aromas and surprises, the Infusion never fails to impress!

The combination of chocolate mousse and this champagne is a perfect match. The red fruit notes and spice of the Infusion harmonize beautifully with creamy chocolate. An orange-mango mirror, fresh raspberries and hazelnuts also bring exciting complexity into play, though sometimes less is more.
