Rosé Brut 2022+Res. Chouilly Grand Cru

Wine description for Rosé Brut 2022+Res. Chouilly Grand Cru by Vazart-Coquart & Fils

Character

A Blanc de Noirs Rosé from one of the most prestigious vineyard sites on the Côte des Blancs – a remarkable rarity. Vazart-Coquart, rooted in Chouilly for generations, crafts here a Champagne of crystalline precision and subtle fruitiness. The blend of Chardonnay with Pinot Noir lends this Rosé an elegant structure whilst maintaining the finesse that expresses Chouilly’s chalky terroir.

Terroir & Origin

Chouilly ranks among the 17 Grand Cru communes of Champagne and is particularly legendary for its Chardonnay wines. The chalky soil of the Côte des Blancs imparts the wines their characteristic minerality and tension. That Vazart-Coquart creates a Rosé here demonstrates artisanal courage: the family harnesses the cool climatic conditions and unique terroir to produce a Champagne that holds freshness and complexity in remarkable balance.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The cuvée combines the elegance of Chardonnay with the structure-giving power of Pinot Noir. Whilst Chardonnay provides finesse, citrus notes and mineral precision, Pinot Noir contributes red fruit aromas and body. The designation „2022+Res.“ indicates a blend with reserve wines – a practice that lends the Champagne additional depth and maturity. With 12.5% alcohol and brut dosage, the wine remains lean and approachable, without sacrificing expressiveness.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A versatile companion that shines both as an aperitif and with delicate dishes. Excellent with raw fish, sushi or ceviche. The structure harmonises beautifully with pan-fried salmon, scallops or lobster. Also a delightful pairing with strawberries and cream or raspberry tart. The mineral freshness makes it the ideal companion for goat’s cheese or light poultry dishes.
