Wine Description for Brut Réserve 2022+Res. Blanc de Blancs Chouilly Grand Cru 1500ml Magnum by Vazart-Coquart & Fils

Character

Vazart-Coquart & Fils belongs to those grower champagnes that have embodied the finesse of Chouilly for generations. This magnum bottling unites the Brut Réserve with a Blanc de Blancs cuvée from the Grand Cru – a testament to the Chardonnay purity that this family has cultivated since 1899. The larger bottle format promises slower, more harmonious maturation and makes this champagne an ideal companion for festive occasions.

Terroir & Origin

Chouilly ranks among the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyard sites of the Côte des Blancs, that chalky coast south of Épernay, where Chardonnay finds its purest expression. The chalk-rich soils impart a mineral tension and crystalline precision that makes Chouilly champagne unmistakable. The region’s cooler climate preserves natural acidity and fosters the elegance and freshness for which Blanc de Blancs are prized. Vazart-Coquart has worked family-owned parcels here for over a century.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Chardonnay – nothing else is needed for an authentic Blanc de Blancs. The cuvée combines the accessibility of the Brut Réserve with the depth of a Grand Cru vineyard site. At Vazart-Coquart, this means artisanal precision: gentle pressing, vinification in stainless steel to preserve fruit clarity, and appropriate ageing on the lees. The magnum bottle offers ideal conditions for harmonious aromatic development through its optimal ratio of wine to oxygen.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The minerality and finesse of this Blanc de Blancs harmonises beautifully with raw oysters, scallops or sashimi. It also shows its best side alongside pan-fried sea bass, goat’s cheese or a classic lobster salad. The magnum is excellent as an aperitif for larger gatherings or as a continuous accompaniment throughout a festive menu.
