Crafted by a family with six generations of Champagne-making experience, it combines fresh fruit, fine bubbles and subtle brioche character with the elegance of the Epernay terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright and lively in the glass, this Champagne shows a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with delicate white flowers, ripe orchard fruit and a gentle hint of brioche. On the palate, refreshing citrus flavours are balanced by subtle minerality and a smooth, well-integrated texture. The finish is clean, elegant and pleasantly persistent. As a non-vintage Champagne, it is best enjoyed for its freshness, although careful cellaring for a few years may allow additional toasty and mature notes to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Vollereaux’s vineyards on the southern slopes of Epernay in the Marne Valley, where limestone and clay soils provide both freshness and mineral character. The estate works with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, harvesting the grapes at optimum ripeness—a skill passed down through generations. In the winery, traditional and modern presses are used alongside one another, while the final blend is assembled in the family’s historic limestone cellars before the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle according to the traditional method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA versatile choice for celebrations, this Champagne is excellent as an aperitif and pairs naturally with oysters, shellfish, sushi, grilled fish and light seafood dishes. Its bright citrus freshness also works well with soft cheeses, poultry and delicate starters. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary; pour gently into Champagne flutes or tulip-shaped glasses to preserve the fine mousse and expressive aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampagne Vollereaux is a family-owned house whose roots reach back to 1805, when the family planted its first vines in the village of Pierry et Moussy in the Marne Valley. The first Vollereaux Champagne was released in 1923, and the house is now led by Franck Vollereaux, with the wider family remaining closely involved in the vineyards, cellar and wine tourism. The estate farms approximately 40 hectares, including Premier Cru Pierry, and continues to work from a historic cellar carved into the limestone of Epernay. This deep connection to the land, combined with a long-established expertise in blending, remains central to the house style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vollereaux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54613003239761,"sku":"5569","price":44.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Vollereaux-Champagne-Brut-Reserve-1.png?v=1787056499","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/vollereaux-champagne-brut-reserve","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
