Brut Réserve 2021+Res. Blanc de Blancs Chouilly Grand Cru 375ml

Wine description for Brut Réserve 2021+Res. Blanc de Blancs Chouilly Grand Cru 375ml by Vazart-Coquart & Fils

Colour & Appearance

Medium straw yellow with a lively, fine perlage – classic and inviting in the glass.

Nose

A fresh, enticing Blanc de Blancs with the clear signature of the Côte des Blancs: lime and chalk shape the foundation, topped by playful notes of lemon, a touch of mandarin and delicate herbs. A seductive hint of warm brioche, lemon curd and butter lends depth and warmth to the wine – the result of a long Réserve perpétuelle.

Palate

Powerful and agile at the same time: the perlage is present, the texture juicy. White-fleshed fruit, citrus and mandarin blend seamlessly into a structure of fresh acidity and a harmoniously integrated dosage of 4.5 g/l. Characteristic and recurring: a distinctive note of almond biscuit, which gives the wine personality.

Finish

Medium-long, with a pleasant freshness and a mineral, slightly chalky finish. Uncomplicated, but never banal – a Champagne that invites you to drink.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come exclusively from the Grand Cru vineyard in Chouilly, one of the most renowned Chardonnay sites in Champagne. The vines root deeply in Belemnite chalk – that characteristic subsoil structure that gives the wine its unmistakable minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Single-varietal Chardonnay from vines averaging 45 years of age. The cuvée is composed of 67% from the 2021 harvest and 33% of a Réserve perpétuelle, which has been continuously maintained since 1982. Vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with full malolactic fermentation. Bottled in May 2022, disgorged in July 2024. The estate has been certified organic since the 2020 harvest.

Food Pairings

A versatile companion: excellent with oysters and a fine seafood platter, as well as with goat’s cheese, light fish dishes or simply as an elegant apéritif.

Special Features

The Réserve perpétuelle since 1982 – renewed by 40% annually – is the quiet heart of this cuvée, lending it a complexity that goes far beyond its accessible character. In the practical 375ml bottle, it is ideal for an enjoyable moment for two.
