Cuvée Camille Chouilly Grand Cru

Wine Description for Cuvée Camille Chouilly Grand Cru by Vazart-Coquart & Fils

Colour & Appearance

Radiant golden yellow with delicate coppery reflections and a persistently fine mousse, testament to its most recent dégorgement in May 2025.

Nose

This Champagne presents itself charmingly and vinously with ripe pear aromas, sweet peach and notes of toasted almonds and seaweed butter. Cool maritime hints of sea breeze and oyster shells lend the bouquet that mineral finesse which distinguishes Grand Cru Chouilly.

Palate

Gripping and mouth-watering at once – the fine carbonation carries the invigorating fruit and lends the Champagne a refreshing dynamism. The texture is supple, the balance between Pinot Noir structure (70%) and Chardonnay elegance (30%) masterfully achieved. With only 6 g/l dosage, the wine remains dry and precise.

Terroir & Origin

Chouilly, one of the most prestigious Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, is renowned for its chalk-dominated soils. Vazart-Coquart vinifies here a mosaic of micro-terroirs that unite minerality, power and fruit in rare harmony.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Unusual for Chouilly, Pinot Noir dominates here with 70%, complemented by 30% Chardonnay. Bottled in May 2023, disgorged in May 2025 – this Champagne already shows impressive maturity and complexity whilst maintaining freshness.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An excellent apéritif for autumn and winter. Particularly harmonious with dishes featuring earthy umami components: sautéed mushrooms, scallops with nut butter, autumn truffles, smoked fish or mature Comté.

Special Features

A Champagne with fantastic value for money from a renowned family estate. The Cuvée Camille proves that Grand Cru quality need not necessarily mean Blanc de Blancs – here Pinot Noir shows its full class.
