Male’, Maldives, 14 August 2024 – In the heart of the Maldives’ turquoise waters, the private islands of OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI and OZEN LIFE MAADHOO are elevating the luxury wine and dine experience with a new level of sophistication. From October 21st to 27th, these idyllic resorts will host a series of exclusive champagne masterclasses in collaboration with the esteemed House of Champagne Guy Charbaut, led by the fourth-generation Champagne Charbaut family.
This year, the spotlight is on Hélène Charbaut, who is making her debut in the Maldives with the limited production cuvée ‘La Crayère,’ a premier Cru Blanc de Blancs champagne. The masterclasses will take place at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO from October 21st to 23rd and at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI from October 25th to 27th, offering guests a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of fine champagne.
The Guy Charbaut family has a storied history in champagne production, dating back to 1936 when their grandfather, André Charbaut, first cultivated vines in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. As artisanal wine growers for four generations, the Charbaut family has upheld the prestige and quality of their brand. This year’s events will feature Xavier and Nathalie Charbaut, who will present their finest champagnes, including the celebrated ‘La Crayère.’
Guests at both resorts will enjoy a series of sophisticated events including degustation dinners with champagne pairings, elegant soirées, and blind tasting experiences. Whether you are new to the world of champagne or a seasoned connoisseur, these exclusive events promise to enhance your luxury island escape with lively conversations, delectable cuisine, and the finest champagne set against the backdrop of the ocean.
Nicolas Laguette, Director of Wines at Atmosphere Core, praised Hélène Charbaut’s innovative approach to winemaking. “Hélène’s single-plot vinification in oak, combined with minimal intervention, reflects a sustainable and natural philosophy that aligns with our own values. As leaders in redefining wine tourism in the Maldives, we are thrilled to collaborate with such a distinguished name in the champagne industry.”
