Inspiring Champagne moments with The Ozen Collection

An Unforgettable Champagne Odyssey with THE OZEN COLLECTION.

Witness the passing-of-the-baton from father Xavier to daughter Hélène of Champagne Guy Charbaut at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI and OZEN LIFE MAADHOO in the Maldives.

Experience the effervescent delight of Champagne amidst the crystalline turquoise waters of the Maldives. THE OZEN COLLECTION’s ultra-luxurious private isles, in partnership with the esteemed house of Champagne Guy Charbaut, offer an enriching odyssey where the art of Champagne tasting merges with the Indian Ocean’s sublime beauty.

Returning for the fourth consecutive year of THE OZEN COLLECTION’s unique Champagne Masterclasses, Xavier and Nathalie Charbaut will unveil the exceptional La Crayère, a Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut. The limited-production La Crayère heralds a milestone moment—the debut of daughter Hélène Charbaut, the fourth generation of the Champagne Charbaut family. “Vines and wine are living things. I let them express themselves as freely as possible, and in this way, bring out their own personality” says Hélène Charbaut.

These exclusive events will take place from 21 to 23 October at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO and from 25 to 27 October at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI.

Nicolas Laguette, the Director of Wines at Atmosphere Core, says, “Hélène’s approach of single-plot vinification in oak while minimising inputs in the wine is remarkable. From vineyard to cellar, every step is taken with respect and minimal intervention. This innovative, sustainable, and ‘simplement naturel’ philosophy resonates deeply with our own values, as pioneers of the Holiday Plan in the Maldives, now leading the way in redefining wine tourism in this extraordinary luxury destination.”
