Quenardel & Fils, Reserve Brut Champagne NV

Quenardel & Fils Reserve Brut is a classic grower Champagne from Verzenay, one of Champagne’s prized 100% Grand Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims. Made entirely from estate-grown fruit, it reflects the house’s long-standing commitment to traditional Champagne craft, with Pinot Noir bringing structure, Chardonnay finesse, and Pinot Meunier a touch of fruit and ease.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse, this Brut shows the poised character you expect from a Grand Cru Champagne. The nose is fresh and expressive, with notes of crisp orchard fruit, citrus, white flowers, and subtle brioche, while the palate balances ripe fruit, lively acidity, and a rounded texture supported by the 9 g/l dosage. The finish is clean, elegant, and gently creamy, with enough depth to make it feel both approachable and refined. Thanks to its three years of cellar aging, it has the structure to drink beautifully now, while still offering a little more complexity over the next few years.

Production
The vines are rooted in Verzenay, where the chalk-driven soils and Montagne de Reims climate give Pinot Noir particular strength and definition. As a récoltant-manipulant, Quenardel & Fils works exclusively with grapes from its own 7 hectares, harvesting by hand and pressing the fruit in stages according to méthode champenoise. The juice is clarified before fermentation, then both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in tank, followed by several months of rest before the wine is bottled for its extended cellar ageing.

Food & Serving
Ideal as an aperitif, this Champagne also pairs well with oysters, prawns, sushi, roast chicken, creamy cheeses, or light canapés. Serve well chilled at around 8-10°C, and decanting is not recommended; simply open shortly before serving to preserve the wine’s freshness and mousse.
